Pico de Gallo

I literally live on this in the summer when tomatoes are garden-ripe! I prefer this to cooked salsa, and I really load up on the cilantro. Of course, you can adjust the heat and any other ingredient as you wish, but this is the basic recipe. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Keeper ! Love this stuff... It is the real thing. I serve the jalapeno on the side... DH likes a ton and I don't like too much. I also add about 1 TBS of Olive oil. Otherwise follow exactly. Thanks for sharing it.

    Fantastic, I wouldn't change a thing. I've made this a few times now, and shared the recipe with family who loved it. Fresh ingredients are a must - anything canned just isn't quite as good. I'll never buy store bought salsa again. Thanks for a great recipe.

    Cutting up the tomatoes was tedious and messy, especially with my dull knives, but it was worth the effort. I didn't measure the lime juice and I think I added too much, just a word to the wise. I got a jar of jalapeƱo rounds and just eyeballed a right amount, which turned out okay.

    This recipe takes me back to high school...my boyfriend was Latin and his mother taught me to make her secret recipe pico de gallo...it was amazing! I remember she would make huge batches of it and use them as decoration in her Latin inspired kitchen. Every single time I was at that house there was a pot of Mexican rice on the stove...there for anyone who wanted it; anytime. And for special dinners, we would make homemade tortillas...delicious! Thanks for bringing up such a happy and cherished memory! Oh, since no one here knows her...her secret ingredient was lemon juice instead of lime and lemon pepper...just a tad! Linzi
