Servings: 6 servings
- 4 Roma tomatoes deseeded and diced
- ⅔ cup white onion finely diced
- 1 bunch cilantro finely chopped
- 1 serrano pepper or jalapeño finely chopped
- 1 lime juiced
- ½ teaspoon salt
Stir it all together. Add the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, pepper, lime, and salt to a bowl. Stir everything together.
Serve. If you can wait 15 minutes to let all the flavors meld, that's best. But if you can't wait to dig in, I completely understand. Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!
- For making ahead: Feel free to make it a few hours ahead. That way, all the natural juices from the tomatoes, onion, lime juice, and pepper will marinate together providing a more robust flavor. Then, stir the salsa a few times before serving.
- For storing leftovers: This will stay good in the fridge for about 3 days. Just note that the salsa will soften and water down a bit as it sits.
- Serving Size: This recipe makes 3 cups of pico de gallo.
- Serve it up with corn tortilla chips or my favorite Siete brand cassava tortilla chips (they're gluten-free, grain-free, and corn-free).
