Pico de Gallo Recipe
Satisfyingly fresh, and a little spicy, this Pico de Gallo recipe is the best one you’ll find! Making your own pico de gallo at home is easy, coming together in about 15 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Red onion (about half an onion), diced fine
- Juice from 1 lime, fresh squeezed
- 2 ½ to 3 cups Roma tomatoes (about 5-6), seeded, diced fine
- 1 Jalapeño, seeded if you don’t want it spicy, diced fine
- ¼ to ½ cup Fresh cilantro, roughly chopped small
- ½ teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- Finely dice the red onion and add it to the mixing bowl. Squeeze the lime over the onion and mix to coat. Tip: I learned that the acidity in lime juice actually cooks the onion a little, so do this step first before anything else.
- After removing the seeds and finely dicing the Roma tomatoes, add them to the bowl.
- For the jalapeño, if you like it spicy, finely dice the jalapeño whole—seeds and all—and add it to the bowl. Otherwise, after removing the seeds, veins and pith, finely dice the jalapeño and add it to the bowl.
- Roughly chop the cilantro small and add it to the bowl.
- Add the salt and stir to combine. Taste test to see if you need more salt. You can always add more later but you can’t take it out.
- Serve immediately.
