Pico de Gallo

Homemade Pico de Gallo or fresh tomato salsa is such a delicious treat! It's a great fresh tasting dip with plantain or tortilla chips. Try serving it over nachos, on grilled fish or meats, or as a condiment with tacos and enchiladas.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups plum tomatoes, finely diced
  • ¾ cup white or red onion, finely diced
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño or serrano, seeded and minced
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice
  • ½ tsp kosher salt

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients together in a large bowl and gently stir together. Taste for seasoning, adding more lime and/or salt if needed. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • To make ahead up to the day before: Mix everything together, except the salt. Cover and refrigerate. When ready to serve drain any liquid, and salt before serving. Pico de Gallo is always better served and eaten the day it is made, so make small batches.
