HOMEMADE PICO DE GALLO (FRESH TOMATO SALSA)



Homemade Pico de Gallo (Fresh Tomato Salsa) image

Pico de Gallo is a fresh tomato salsa popular in Mexico. Use ripe tomatoes for this. Not all tomatoes are created equal. When choosing tomatoes, look for tomatoes that are deeply colored and firm, with a little give. If they don't smell like anything, skip them. They should smell like a tomato - sweet and woody.

Categories     Salsa     Tomato     Vegetarian     Summer     Quick & Easy     Cilantro     Jalapeño     Chile Pepper     Vegan     Soy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Tree Nut Free     snack     Dip     Condiment/Spread

Yield about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

2-4 jalapeño or serrano chiles or use more or less to taste, tops trimmed but not seeded
1 medium garlic clove
4 large, ripe fresh tomatoes, peeled but not seeded (about 2 ½ pounds)
6-8 scallions with part of green tops
¼ cup (not packed down) fresh cilantro leaves, stripped from stems
Juice of 1 large lime
Salt to taste
1 teaspoon Mexican oregano, or to taste

Steps:

  • With a large sharp knife, chop chiles very fine and reserve. Mince the garlic. Coarsely chop the tomatoes. Finely chop the scallions and cilantro. Place all fresh ingredients except chiles in a large bowl. If tomatoes are very dry and juiceless, gradually add up to ½ cup cold water to give a light salsa consistency. Stir to mix ingredients. Add chiles a little at a time, tasting, until it is as hot as you like. Add 1 teaspoon (or to taste) crumbled oregano. Squeeze lime juice into the salsa; gradually add salt to taste. Use at once.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, juicy tomatoes for the best flavor.
  • Choose a variety of tomatoes, such as Roma, cherry, or heirloom, for a more complex flavor.
  • Use fresh cilantro and lime juice for the best flavor.
  • Don't over-chop the ingredients. You want them to be small, but not mushy.
  • Season the pico de gallo to taste with salt, pepper, and chili powder.
  • Let the pico de gallo sit for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Serve pico de gallo with tortilla chips, tacos, burritos, or enchiladas.

Conclusion:

Pico de gallo is a refreshing, flavorful salsa that is perfect for any Mexican dish. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Experiment with different types of tomatoes, peppers, and herbs to create your perfect pico de gallo.
