Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Jicama
- 3 medium Roma tomatoes
- 1 small Red onion
- 0.5 cup Cilantro leaves
- 1 small Jalapeño pepper
- 1 large Lime
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel the jicama and slice it into thin, uniform rounds or sticks, depending on your presentation preference. Set aside on a serving platter.
Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, evenly sized pieces and place them in a medium mixing bowl.
Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Chop the cilantro leaves and add them to the bowl. For best results, use fresh cilantro and discard any tough stems.
Finely dice the jalapeño pepper, removing the seeds for less heat if desired. Add it to the mix.
Juice the lime and pour the fresh lime juice over the tomato mixture.
Add the salt and black pepper, then toss everything together gently to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Spoon the pico de gallo mixture onto the jicama slices or serve the pico de gallo in a bowl with jicama sticks on the side for dipping.
Serve immediately for the freshest flavor, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
