Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe tomatoes
- 1 small white onion
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 small jalapeño pepper
- 1 lime
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and jalapeño pepper thoroughly under cold running water.
Dice the tomatoes into small, uniform pieces and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Peel and finely chop the white onion. Add it to the mixing bowl with the tomatoes.
Remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño pepper for a milder flavor, or leave them in for extra heat. Finely dice the jalapeño and add it to the bowl.
Chop the fresh cilantro leaves finely and add them to the bowl. Adjust the quantity of cilantro to taste if desired.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice into the mixture, ensuring no seeds are added.
Season the salsa with kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Mix everything well with a spoon until evenly combined.
Taste the Pico De Gallo and adjust the seasoning, lime juice, or jalapeño according to your preference.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the salsa sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve immediately as a dip with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite Mexican dishes.
