Description
The Best Pico de Gallo (Fresh Tomato Salsa) made with fresh lime juice, tomatoes, and cilantro. A delicious, quick, and easy appetizer that’s always a hit. Serve with homemade guacamole.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 ripe tomatoes, chopped
- 2 green onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 large red onion
- 2–3 cloves garlic
- 1 jalapeno pepper (optional)*
- 3 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Add the chopped tomatoes, green onions and cilantro to a large bowl. Toss.
- In a food processor, process the red onion, garlic, and jalapeno (optional), lime juice and lemon juice until pureed. Note: Alternatively, you can finely chop the onion, garlic, and jalapeno but I find that processing the onions, garlic, and jalepeno with the lime and lemon juice helps to combine the flavors better.
- Add the pureed onion mixture to the large bowl. Add sea salt. Toss with the tomatoes until evenly distributed.
- Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Enjoy with tortilla chips, in a burrito, or with salad!
Notes
1) Remove the jalapeno seeds if you want your salsa to be less spicy.
