It's a happy day because the Best Pico de Gallo recipe sits at your fingertips right now. Pico de Gallo is the classically simple, fresh tomato salsa that's made with only a few ingredients and tastes amazing over tacos, burritos, enchiladas, salads, and...chips!
Servings: 20 servings (4-5 cups)
Ingredients
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, diced
- 1 small white onion, sweet, or red onion, about 1 cup diced
- 1 cup cilantro leaves, freshly chopped
- 1 large lime, juiced
- 1-2 whole jalapeño peppers, fresh, seeded and chopped
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, gently fold all ingredients together until well incorporated. Cover, chill, and serve within a couple of hours.
Notes
- For a milder pico, remove the seeds and membrane from the jalapeño before chopping. If you like it spicy, leave some seeds.
- Freshly squeezed lime juice is a must for the best flavor. It's worth the effort, we promise!
- Love cilantro? Feel free to add more to suit your tastes. If you're not a fan, you can reduce the amount or even leave it out.
- Pico is best served fresh, but you can make it ahead. Just hold off on adding salt until you're ready to serve, as it can make the tomatoes a bit watery if added too early.
- Zesting the lime before juicing is a great way to use the whole fruit and add an extra pop of citrus flavor.
