What is Pico de Gallo?

Pico de Gallo is a popular Mexican salsa. It is also known as “Salsa Fresca,” or “Salsa Cruda.” It is traditionally made with equal parts tomatoes and onion, with fresh cilantro and a generous squeeze of lime juice. We add jalapeno for a spicy kick but you can leave it out for a milder pico.

Ingredients

1 lb tomatoes, (3-4 medium), diced

1/2 medium onion, (1 cup chopped)

1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely minced (optional)

1/2 cup cilantro, chopped

2 Tbsp lime juice, from 1 lime

1/2 tsp salt, or to taste

1/8 tsp black pepper

Directions

In a medium bowl, diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeno pepper and chopped cilantro.

Stir in 2 Tbsp lime juice and lightly season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper, or season to taste. Enjoy right away or cover and refrigerate overnight.
