Ingredients

Scale

Essential Ingredients

  • 2 cups firm, fresh ripe tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 cup white onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and diced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables: Dice the tomatoes, white onion, and jalapeño pepper into small, consistent pieces. Finely chop the fresh cilantro to release its aroma.
  2. Combine ingredients: In a mixing bowl, gently toss together the diced tomatoes, onions, jalapeño, and cilantro to evenly distribute the ingredients for balanced flavor.
  3. Add fresh zest: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture, add a small splash of apple cider vinegar (natural), and sprinkle salt to taste. Stir lightly to coat all ingredients without crushing them.
  4. Rest for flavor: Let the Pico De Gallo sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld while maintaining freshness.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality tomatoes and herbs for the best flavor.
  • Adjust the heat by removing seeds from the jalapeño for milder spice or keeping them for more heat.
  • Keep the salsa chunky by avoiding over-dicing to preserve texture and vibrancy.
  • Allow the mixture to rest before serving to enhance the flavor blend.
  • Serve chilled or at room temperature for optimal taste.
