Classic Pico De Gallo

Classic Pico De Gallo

What You’ll Need

  • 1 ½ lbs ripe Roma tomatoes, cut into ¼–½ inch dice

  • 1 tsp kosher salt (plus more to taste)

  • ½ large white onion, finely diced (about ¾ cup)

  • 1–2 serrano or jalapeño chilies, finely diced (remove seeds and membranes for less heat)

  • ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped

  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)

 

Let’s Cook

  1. Salt & Drain Tomatoes
    Toss diced tomatoes with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Transfer to a fine mesh strainer or colander set over a bowl. Let drain for 20–30 minutes, then discard the liquid.

  2. Mix it Together
    In a bowl, combine the drained tomatoes, diced onion, chilies, cilantro, and lime juice.

  3. Taste & Adjust
    Toss gently to mix, then season with additional salt to taste.

  4. Serve & Enjoy
    Use immediately for the freshest flavor, or store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
