Pico de Gallo

Pico de Gallo takes bright fresh tomatoes, some onions and garlic, and adds some heat with jalapenos to create a very easy fresh salsa. Don’t limit yourself to chips though, because you could literally put this on many other dishes, or even eat it as a salad!.

Ingredients

  • 4 large sized ripe tomatoes diced (about 7-8 cups)
  • 1- 1 1/2 yellow onion diced (about 1 1/4 cups )
  • 1-2 jalapeños deveined and seeded, chopped fine
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • juice of one lime
  • 1/2 cup cilantro leaves chopped or to taste
  • I like to add in another cup of diced peppers I add in colored bell peppers, sometime I use banana peppers, or a poblano pepper. More for flavor and color, not for heat.
  • sea salt to taste

Instructions

  • Dice tomatoes and onions and place in a large bowl.
  • In your food processor, place peppers and cilantro and pulse them together. Scoop into tomato/onion mixture.
  • Add garlic, additional peppers, and lime juice. Give it a sprinkle of sea salt.
  • Refrigerate at least 5 hours, overnight is better!
