Add the prepared tomato, onion, jalapeño, and cilantro to a bowl.

Notes
You can use white or yellow onions, though I recommend red onions because of their sweetness.
If your pico de gallo tastes bland, ensure you are using fresh, top-quality ingredients. If your tomatoes -- such a major component -- are past their prime, it could ruin the entire salsa.
