Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pcs fresh Roma tomatoes
- 0.5 pcs red onion
- 0.5 cup (chopped) cilantro
- 1 pcs jalapeño pepper
- 1 pcs lime
- 0.5 tsp kosher salt
Instructions
Wash all fresh produce thoroughly under cool running water.
Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, even pieces and add them to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Peel and finely dice half a red onion, then add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Remove the seeds and membrane from the jalapeño pepper to reduce spice levels, then finely chop the jalapeño. Add it to the bowl. (If you prefer more heat, keep some seeds intact.)
Finely chop the cilantro leaves and measure out half a cup. Add the chopped cilantro to the bowl.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze its juice over the mixture in the bowl. Use one lime or adjust to taste.
Sprinkle in the kosher salt and gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined.
Taste the Pico de Gallo and adjust the salt or lime juice if needed.
Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, then serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.
