Pico de Gallo

Fresh homemade pico de gallo is THE BEST. This recipe is simple, super flavorful, and saves you money from buying the store bought kind.

I always prepare this whenever I’m eating tacos, burritos, tostadas, etc. I also like to keep some in a container in my fridge to have ready as a snack with some tortilla chips.

Ingredients

Roma tomatoes – the best tomatoes to use for this salsa. They are more meaty and have fewer seeds.

Red onions – more mild and slightly sweet compared to yellow onions, though those would work just as well if you prefer.

Jalapeños – add great flavor and spice, though this is optional if you prefer a mild salsa.

Cilantro – a staple ingredient in most salsas and really brings the whole flavor together.

Lime juice – adds the perfect amount of tartness/sourness to complement all of the ingredients. I recommend freshly squeezed. Due to the pasteurization process of bottled lime juice, it ends up losing a lot of its boldness and flavor.

Though the texture is typically chunky, you can blend the salsa in a food processor to get your preferred consistency.
