I LOVE salsa. Put a dish of salsa and a basket of chips in front of me, and it’s all over. I will show that salsa who’s boss. But, I’ll say this: while I’ve never met a salsa I didn’t like, fresh tomato salsa, a.k.a. pico de gallo, is my absolute favorite. It’s so flavorful and refreshing. But you know what else? It’s some really simple stuff! It’s super easy to make with just ix ingredients — and all you have to do is mix them up in a bowl. SO EASY.

Red onion.Lime juice. Use fresh squeezed — it has the best flavor.Salt.Tomatoes. Almost any variety will work, but make sure they’re good and ripe!Jalapeño pepper. You can leave this out if you don’t like spicy food.Fresh cilantro.

Place diced red onion, lime juice, and salt into a bowl. Stir the ingredients well so they’re evenly distributed, then let the mixture sit while you prepare the remaining ingredients. This will help take a bit of the bite out of the onion.Now add diced tomatoes, finely chopped jalapeño, and chopped fresh cilantro to your onion mixture. Stir it up well and season the salsa with additional salt if you’d like.
Leftovers & Storage
Homemade pico de gallo is best served immediately, but it will keep in a sealed container in the fridge for about 3 days.
