Ingredients

  • 3 cups tomatoes diced
  • 1 cup red onion diced
  • 1 jalapeño diced
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • ½ lime juiced
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Add the prepared tomato, onion, jalapeño, and cilantro to a bowl.
  • Stir in the lime, salt, and black pepper.
  • Adjust to taste.

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.
