Ingredients
Scale

- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 1 large lime
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and dry the tomatoes, then dice them into small pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Finely dice the white onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
- Mince the jalapeño, removing the seeds first if you prefer a milder salsa, then stir it into the mixture.
- Chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the bowl.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over the ingredients to add bright, authentic flavor.
- Season with salt and black pepper, then taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Gently mix everything until well combined. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 15–30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
Notes
Use ripe Roma tomatoes for the best flavor and to prevent the pico de gallo from becoming too watery.
Let the mixture rest for 10–15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend beautifully.
Adjust the jalapeño to your preferred spice level, and remove the seeds for a milder salsa.
