Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Roma tomatoes
- 1 medium White onion
- 0.5 cup Cilantro leaves
- 1 large Jalapeño pepper
- 1 medium Lime
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Rinse the Roma tomatoes, white onion, cilantro leaves, and jalapeño under cool running water to ensure they are clean.
Dice the Roma tomatoes into small evenly-sized pieces and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Peel the white onion and dice it finely. Add the diced onion to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Roughly chop the cilantro leaves, discarding any large stems. Add the chopped cilantro to the mixing bowl.
Slice the jalapeño pepper in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membrane for a milder flavor (optional). Finely dice the jalapeño and mix it into the bowl.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice over the ingredients in the bowl. Be careful to remove any seeds.
Sprinkle the salt over the mixture, then gently toss everything together with a spoon until well combined.
Taste the Pico de Gallo and adjust the salt or lime juice to your preference.
Let the Pico de Gallo sit for 5–10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
Serve immediately as a dip with tortilla chips, or as a fresh topping for tacos, grilled meats, or salads.
