Ingredients

• 4 large Roma tomatoes
• 1 medium White onion
• 1 large Jalapeño pepper
• 1 bunch Fresh cilantro
• 1 large Lime
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 clove Garlic (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash all produce thoroughly under running water and pat dry.

Step 2

Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, evenly-sized cubes and place them into a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Step 3

Peel and finely dice the white onion. Add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.

Step 4

Slice the jalapeño pepper lengthwise. Remove the seeds and membrane for a milder heat level, or keep them for more spice. Finely dice the jalapeño and add it to the bowl.

Step 5

Finely chop a small handful of fresh cilantro leaves, discarding the stems. Add the cilantro to the mixture.

Step 6

If desired, finely mince a garlic clove and mix it in for an extra garlicky kick.

Step 7

Juice the lime over the mixing bowl, ensuring all the juice is extracted. Stir everything gently but thoroughly to combine.

Step 8

Sprinkle in the salt and mix again to evenly distribute the seasoning.

Step 9

Taste and adjust salt or lime juice if needed.

Step 10

Transfer the Pico de Gallo to a serving bowl and enjoy immediately or let it sit for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite Mexican dishes.
