Ingredients

• 4 medium Roma tomatoes
• 1 medium White onion
• 0.5 cup Cilantro leaves
• 1 large Jalapeño pepper
• 1 medium Lime
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the Roma tomatoes, white onion, cilantro leaves, and jalapeño under cool running water to ensure they are clean.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Roughly chop the cilantro leaves, discarding any large stems. Add the chopped cilantro to the mixing bowl.

Step 5

Slice the jalapeño pepper in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membrane for a milder flavor (optional). Finely dice the jalapeño and mix it into the bowl.

Step 6

Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice over the ingredients in the bowl. Be careful to remove any seeds.

Step 7

Sprinkle the salt over the mixture, then gently toss everything together with a spoon until well combined.

Step 8

Taste the Pico de Gallo and adjust the salt or lime juice to your preference.

Step 9

Let the Pico de Gallo sit for 5–10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a dip with tortilla chips, or as a fresh topping for tacos, grilled meats, or salads.
