Fresh Pico de Gallo

Fresh Pico de Gallo is a vibrant, zesty Mexican salsa made with ripe tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and lime juice, perfect for adding a bright, fresh flavor to any dish.

Ingredients

  • 4 ripe tomatoes, diced
  • 1 small white onion, finely chopped
  • 1-2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped onion, jalapeño peppers, and cilantro.
  2. Add the fresh lime juice and salt to taste.
  3. Stir everything gently to mix all ingredients well.
  4. Let the salsa sit for 10 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld.
