Ingredients

• 1 medium Jicama
• 3 medium Roma tomatoes
• 1 small Red onion
• 0.5 cup Cilantro leaves
• 1 small Jalapeño pepper
• 1 large Lime
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel the jicama and slice it into thin, uniform rounds or sticks, depending on your presentation preference. Set aside on a serving platter.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.

Step 4

Chop the cilantro leaves and add them to the bowl. For best results, use fresh cilantro and discard any tough stems.

Step 5

Finely dice the jalapeño pepper, removing the seeds for less heat if desired. Add it to the mix.

Step 6

Juice the lime and pour the fresh lime juice over the tomato mixture.

Step 7

Add the salt and black pepper, then toss everything together gently to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Step 8

Spoon the pico de gallo mixture onto the jicama slices or serve the pico de gallo in a bowl with jicama sticks on the side for dipping.

Step 9

Serve immediately for the freshest flavor, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
