Pico de gallo
Simple flavors marinade together for the most perfect flavor for dipping chips, topping tacos, and can easily be pureed for a smooth sauce over your favorite Mexican
Servings: 2 cups
Ingredients
- 5-6 ripe tomatoes I use Roma tomatoes (about 1 1/2-2 lbs)
- 1/2 white onion diced 1/2-3/4 cup
- 1-2 jalapenos diced 2 tablespoons-1/4 cup
- 1/3 cup loosely chopped cilantro small bunch
- 1 lime juiced (1-1 1/2 tablespoons)
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt or a little less table salt adjust according to taste
Instructions
- Dice all ingredients and mix well.
- refrigerate for an hour before serving so the lime juice has a chance to meld the flavors and bread down the tomatoes rendering additional juices.
- Taste before serving and add additional salt if needed.
Notes
The longer this salsa sits the more juice will release from the tomatoes if you like it "saucy" make it ahead of time and store it in the fridge until ready to serve.
