Pico de gallo

Posted on January 24, 2026 by Admin

Ohhh yes šŸ˜ Pico de Gallo—fresh, zesty, and perfect as a topping or dip. Here’s a classic, easy recipe:


Pico de Gallo (Fresh Salsa)

Ingredients (Makes about 2 cups)

  • 4–5 medium ripe tomatoes, finely diced
  • 1 small white or red onion, finely diced
  • 1–2 jalapeƱos, seeds removed and finely diced (adjust for spice)
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1–2 limes
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients
    • In a bowl, mix tomatoes, onion, jalapeƱos, and cilantro.
  2. Season
    • Squeeze lime juice over the mixture. Add salt to taste.
  3. Let flavors meld
    • Let sit 10–15 minutes before serving for best flavor.
  4. Serve
    • Great with tacos, burritos, nachos, grilled meats, or simply with tortilla chips.

šŸ”„ Tips & Variations

  • For less heat, remove all seeds from the jalapeƱos.
  • Add 1/4 teaspoon cumin for a slightly smoky note.
  • Can add diced avocado for a creamy twist.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge up to 2 days—best fresh!

This is basically fresh, tangy, and perfectly balanced salsa šŸ˜

I can also give a roasted tomato version for a deeper, slightly smoky flavor if you want.

Do you want me to give that version?
