Tried my hand at pico de gallo today. Super fresh alternative to jarred salsa, and just plain better. After checking out a few recipes, I bought the following ingredients:
3 plum tomatoes
1 red onion
1 jalapeno
1 lime
Cilantro
Chop tomatoes, careful to remove the seeds and guts. Chop 1/2 of onion, 1/2 jalapeno, seeded. You can keep seeds if you want more heat. I just like the flavor of the pepper. You can also use the whole pepper, but I bought a ginormous jalapeno, so I only used half. Mix all together, and add juice of 1/2 lime. Add chopped cilantro (no stems, they're bitter). Add salt to taste and let sit for a few. The longer it sits, the better it gets.
We ate it in record time so no time to take a picture. Next time I'll post a pic.
This will serve 3-4.
