Authentic Pico de Gallo
Take your pico de gallo to the next level with pickled jalapeños, adding a tangy kick to this fresh salsa made with tomato, onion, cilantro, & lime.
Servings: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 2 Roma tomatoes
- 1/4 cup onion red or white
- 1 jalapeno
- 1/4 cup cilantro
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp pickled jalapeno optional
Instructions
- Finely dice your tomatoes, onion, jalapenos, and cilantro. *I always remove the watery seeds from the tomatoes, but this is a matter of preference! You can also remove the seeds/veins from the jalapeno if you want less spice, or just omit for zero spice!
- Combine everything in a bowl, then add salt and squeeze 1 tbsp of lime juice (about 1/2 a lime).
- Mix thoroughly then taste to make any adjustments for salt or lime.
- I recommend letting it rest for at least 30 minutes for best results, but you can serve and enjoy right away!
Notes
- Storing: Pico de gallo is best enjoyed fresh, but it will hold in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- For Parties: Making this the night before is a great option! Just consider leaving out the cilantro, or making one version with cilantro and one without. Some people have the "cilantro gene, " which causes it to taste like soap.
