Place all of these ingredients together in a bowl and give it a good stir.Squeeze the juice of half of one lime into the bowl.

This is bright, fresh and right out of the garden! If you like it thicker add tomato sauce or paste. I usually mix 4 ounces of tomato sauce with 4 tablespoons of tomato paste to get a thicker salsa for hubby, but use as much or as little as you like. Serve with tortilla chips. Hope you try this for your next party!

Tips:

  • Choose the best tomatoes: Roma tomatoes are the classic choice for pico de gallo because they are firm and less juicy than other varieties, resulting in a less watery salsa. If you don't have Roma tomatoes, you can use any other firm tomato, such as beefsteak or heirloom tomatoes.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your pico de gallo will taste. If possible, use tomatoes, onions, and cilantro that are all in season.
  • Chop the ingredients evenly: This will help to ensure that the pico de gallo has a consistent texture. If you chop the ingredients too finely, they will lose their shape and become mushy. If you chop them too coarsely, they will be difficult to eat.
  • Season to taste: Pico de gallo should be flavorful, but not too spicy or salty. Start by adding a small amount of salt and lime juice, and then adjust to taste.
  • Chill before serving: Pico de gallo is best served cold. This allows the flavors to meld together and develop. You can chill it for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.

Conclusion:

Pico de gallo is a refreshing and versatile salsa that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It's perfect for tacos, burritos, nachos, and grilled meats. It can also be used as a dip for chips or vegetables. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, pico de gallo is a great way to add some fresh, homemade flavor to your next meal.
