Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 large Roma tomatoes
- 1 large White onion
- 1 bunch Fresh cilantro
- 2 medium Jalapeño peppers
- 4 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cloves Garlic (optional)
Instructions
Wash all produce thoroughly under cold water and pat dry.
Cut the Roma tomatoes into quarters, remove the seeds for a less watery pico de gallo, and dice into small, even pieces. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Peel and finely dice the white onion. Add it to the bowl with the diced tomatoes.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro leaves, discarding most of the stems, and add them to the bowl.
Remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeño peppers for mild heat, or leave them in for a spicier salsa. Finely mince the peppers and add them to the mix.
If using garlic, finely mince or grate the cloves and stir into the mixture.
Add the lime juice and salt to the bowl and gently stir everything together until evenly combined.
Taste the pico de gallo and adjust the seasoning with more lime juice or salt if desired.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the mixture sit for at least 15 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, or use as a topping for tacos, grilled meats, or salads. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
