Easy Pico de Gallo
A simple pico de gallo is an important recipe to have in your repertoire. I love this one as a garnish to all my favorite Mexican dishes!
Ingredients
- 4 hot house tomatoes, seeded and diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 jalapeño, diced with seeds and stems removed
- ¼ bunch cilantro, chopped
- ½ lime - juice only
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. pepper
Instructions
- Dice your tomatoes, taking care to remove the seeds.
- Dice your onions next. Note: I took this as an opportunity to use my onion chopper from Williams-Sonoma. I wish I had used this for the tomatoes too, as it created the most perfectly uniform dice!
- Dice your jalapeño next. Note: I put the jalapeño into the vegetable chopper for a fine dice… in seconds!
- Chop your cilantro and add it to the mix.
- Squeeze 1/2 of a fresh lime into the mixture. Note: I used my Lemon Press from Williams-Sonoma to squeeze the lime. If you don't have one of these yet, I highly recommend it!
- Add the salt and pepper. Mix to combine and refrigerate immediately. Flavors will begin to combine, and create the most delicious pico.
- Serve with baked chips, over grilled chicken, or with a spoon!
