Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Roma tomatoes
- 1 medium White onion
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 whole Jalapeño pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Rinse all produce thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Core and dice the Roma tomatoes into small, even pieces. Place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Peel and finely dice the white onion. Add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Roughly chop the fresh cilantro leaves until you have about half a cup. Add the cilantro to the mixture.
Remove the stem of the jalapeño. For a milder salsa, slice the jalapeño in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membrane. Finely dice the jalapeño and add it to the bowl.
Squeeze fresh lime juice into the bowl, approximately 2 tablespoons. Adjust to taste if desired.
Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of salt over the mixture, and stir everything together until well combined.
Taste the pico de gallo and adjust the lime juice or salt, if needed.
Cover the bowl and let the salsa rest for 5-10 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve immediately as a dip with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, grilled meats, or other dishes.
