Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs yellow or red tomatoes, seeded and chopped
- 1 small onion chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 3 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 2 serrano chiles or jalapeno peppers seeded and minced (see notes)
- salt for taste
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a medium bowl, and toss to combine. Cover and chill until ready to serve. Add more salt if needed for taste. See notes.
Notes
Deseed your serrano chile or jalapeno pepper, especially if you don't like a lot of heat. Traditional Pico de Gallo is made with serrano chiles but if you want something less spicy then go with the jalapenos.
Serve right away or refrigerate if you like for 2 hours then serve. Store leftovers in an airtight jar or container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. This recipe makes 3 cups of salsa.
