Homemade Pico de Gallo

Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 vine-ripened tomatoes (slice and remove all seeds)
  • ⅓ – ½ red or white onion (I prefer red)
  • 1– 2 serrano, aneheim or jalapeno chile peppers
  • 1 lime
  • ½ cup finely chopped cilantro
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tsp white sugar (cuts acidity)
  • Pinch of cumin (optional)

Instructions

  1. Finely chop tomatoes, onion, and peppers by hand (or use a food processor and plus – just do not puree or will have runny salsa) and put into a bowl
  2. Squeeze in one lime (to add juice)
  3. Add salt (usually 1 – 2 tsp can be enough)
  4. Add sugar (and cumin if desired)
  5. Allow to sit for at least 1 hour before serving
  6. Store up to 1 week in a covered container/jar in the refrigerator
