Ingredients

• 4 medium (diced) Roma tomatoes
• 1 small (diced) Red onion
• 1 large (finely chopped, seeds removed if less heat is desired) Jalapeño pepper
• 0.5 cup (chopped) Fresh cilantro
• 1 large (juiced) Lime
• 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
• 1 small (minced, optional) Garlic clove

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the vegetables: Dice the Roma tomatoes, finely chop the red onion and jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat if desired), and chop the fresh cilantro.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.

Step 3

If using garlic, mince it finely and add it to the mixture in the bowl.

Step 4

Juice the lime over the vegetables, ensuring that no seeds pass into the mixture.

Step 5

Sprinkle in the salt and gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined.

Step 6

Taste and adjust the salt, lime juice, or jalapeño heat as needed. Mix again if adjustments are made.

Step 7

Serve immediately as a fresh salsa dip, or allow the flavors to meld by refrigerating the Pico de Gallo for 30 minutes to an hour before serving.

Step 8

Pair with tortilla chips, tacos, or grilled meats. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
