Pico De Gallo
Pico de Gallo is a fresh salsa made with tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, cilantro, and lime juice. It’s a healthy and easy sauce that adds a bright, tangy flavor to many dishes.
Ingredients
- 4 ripe Roma tomatoes diced
- ½ medium red onion finely chopped
- 1-2 jalapeño peppers seeded and finely chopped (adjust for heat)
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
- Juice of 1 lime about 2 tablespoons
- Salt to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon)
- Optional: 1 clove garlic minced
Instructions
- Wash and cut the Roma tomatoes into small pieces. Chop the red onion, jalapeños (take out seeds if you want it less spicy), and cilantro. If using garlic, chop it finely.
- Put all the chopped ingredients in a bowl. Mix gently so the tomatoes don’t get smashed.
- Pour the lime juice over the mix and sprinkle salt on top. Stir to combine.
- Taste it. Add more jalapeño for heat, more lime for tang, or more salt if needed.
- Leave the pico de gallo for 15–20 minutes so the flavors come together.
- Enjoy it with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, chicken, or fish.
