PICO DE GALLO

Servings 0

Ingredients

  • 3-4 medium ripe tomatoes chopped
  • ½ medium sweet onion chopped (about 2/3 cup)
  • 1 jalapeño pepper finely diced (seeds removed)
  • ½ cup cucumber chopped, optional - I like the crunch
  • ½ cup red bell pepper chopped (seeds and membranes removed) optional, I like the added crunch.
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Get the ripest tomatoes you can find. Depending on the time of year, cocktail tomatoes can be a good choice.
  • Chop vegetables.
  • Put all chopped vegetables in a bowl and squeeze lime juice on it. Toss and let sit for ½ hour or more. (Some people recommend draining off the liquid before serving.)
  • Add salt to taste and cilantro leaves to serve.
