Pico de Gallo
Also known as salsa fresca, made with fresh ingredients for dunking tortilla chips!
Servings: 6 servings (1½ cups)
Ingredients
- ¼ cup coarsely chopped sweet onion
- ¼ cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
- 3 medium serrano peppers or jalapeño peppers, seeded and coarsely chopped
- 1½ medium ripe tomatoes, finely chopped
- ½ medium lime, squeezed
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Put onion, cilantro and peppers in a food processor and pulse until very finely chopped. You can also choose to do this by hand, but it's quite tedious.
- Transfer the processed veggies to a bowl and stir in the tomatoes. Squeeze lime juice over the top, and stir. Season with about ½ teaspoon kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
- Cover and refrigerate for several hours, allowing the flavors to blend before serving. Best if served the same day as prepared.
