Classic Fresh Pico de Gallo, a vibrant and flavorful Mexican salsa perfect for dipping or topping your favorite dishes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Roma tomatoes, diced
- 1/2 cup white onion, finely diced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1-2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and minced (adjust to your spice preference)
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, finely diced onion, chopped cilantro, and minced jalapeño peppers.
- Pour the fresh lime juice over the mixture.
- Add the sea salt and black pepper.
- Gently stir everything together until well combined.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- For best results, let the pico de gallo sit for at least 15-20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
- For a milder pico de gallo, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño peppers. For more heat, leave some or all of the seeds in.
- You can use red onion instead of white onion for a slightly different flavor.
- Ensure your ingredients are fresh for the best taste.
- Pico de gallo is best served fresh, but it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. The flavors will intensify over time.
