Ingredients
| 1 cup Onion, chopped fine |
| 1 Jalapeno or serrano (chopped fine, seeds and rib removed) |
| 1/4 cup Lime juice (fresh squeezed) |
| 3/4 tsp fine sea salt (to taste) |
| 1 1/2 lbs Ripe tomatoes (chopped) |
| 1/2 cup Cilantro (chopped) |
Pico de Gallo Directions
- In a medium serving bowl, combine the chopped onion, jalapeño, lime juice and salt. Let it marinate for about 5 minutes while you chop the tomatoes and cilantro.
- Add the chopped tomatoes and cilantro to the bowl and stir to combine. Taste, and add more salt if the flavors don’t quite sing.
- For the best flavor, let the mixture marinate for 15 minutes or several hours in the refrigerator. Serve as a dip, or with a slotted spoon or large serving fork to avoid transferring too much watery tomato juice with your pico. Pico de gallo keeps well in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 4 days.
