Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Roma tomatoes
- 1 medium Seedless cucumber
- 1 medium Sweet bell pepper (red, yellow, or orange)
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Honey (optional, for added sweetness)
Instructions
Wash all the vegetables thoroughly under running water.
Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, kid-friendly pieces, removing the seeds to reduce excess liquid.
Peel the seedless cucumber (optional) and dice it into small cubes.
Remove the seeds and stem from the sweet bell pepper, then dice it into small, bite-sized pieces.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro, keeping the pieces small enough for kids to enjoy without overwhelming them.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, and cilantro.
Add the lime juice and salt to the bowl and mix well to evenly coat the ingredients.
If desired, drizzle in the honey for a subtle sweetness and stir to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Chill the pico de gallo in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before serving or serve immediately with tortilla chips, as a topping, or alongside their favorite dishes.
