Description

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

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, finely diced onion, chopped cilantro, and minced jalapeño peppers.
  2. Pour the fresh lime juice over the mixture.
  3. Add the sea salt and black pepper.
  4. Gently stir everything together until well combined.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. 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.
