What is pico de gallo?
It's a salsa used with a lot of Mexican foods such as tacos or burritos.
Pico de gallo consists of finely diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeños, cilantro and lime juice.
And sometimes is referred to as salsa cruda since it's made with fresh raw vegetables. It's also thicker than regular salsa which can be made using cooked vegetables.
Ingredients needed
Recipe notes
- Finely dice the tomatoes, onion and cilantro.
- You can use any variety of tomatoes but I recommend vine ripened or any fresh high quality tomato.
- I recommend removing the seeds from the jalapeño prior to dicing.
- The garlic should be finely minced or you could leave it out all together if you prefer.
- Red onion was used in this recipe but you could swap out with a white onion.
- Only use fresh lime juice in this salsa.
How to make it
- Add finely diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeños, garlic and cilantro to a mixing bowl.
- Pour in juice from lime and combine.

I do love homemade pico de gallo, it is always so much better when it is freshly made and leftovers taste great on scrambled eggs the next morning

I buy this occasionally but should totally make it at home. The taste and freshness would be much better!
