Authentic Pico de Gallo is a fresh, chunky salsa recipe that is incredibly addictive.
Ingredients
4 to 5 Roma tomatoes ripe and firm, seeds removed, finely diced
½ cup white onion finely diced
⅔ cup fresh cilantro finely chopped
1 jalapeño pepper diced, use more or less depending on how spicy you want the pico de gallo (Serrano peppers can also be used)
1 lime juiced, start with half the lime and add more as needed
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
Combine diced tomatoes, diced onions, chopped cilantro and diced jalapeno in a medium sized bowl.
Add in the salt and lime juice and stir to combine.
Taste test the pico de gallo and add more salt, lime juice or any other ingredient you feel it might be lacking. Depending on freshness of ingredients you may need more or less to get the perfect flavor. Just don't forget to taste!
Refrigerate until ready to serve. Flavors are best after about 15 to 30 minutes of refrigeration. This allows the flavors to develop and meld. If you need it right away though, dig in! It's delicious immediately.
Keep stirring, keep savoring, and always let your taste buds lead the way!
