How to make Homemade Pico De Gallo

Ingredients: What You Need

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up your batch of delicious pico de gallo:

  • 3 medium tomatoes, diced
  • 1 small white onion, finely chopped
  • 1-2 jalapeño peppers, seeds removed and finely diced (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt, to taste
  • Optional: 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions: Let’s Get Cooking!

Alright, you’ve got your ingredients all lined up. Now, let’s make some magic happen:

  1. Grab a cutting board and a sharp knife. Dice those beautiful tomatoes into small pieces and toss them into a mixing bowl.
  2. Next up, finely chop the onion. If you’re feeling teary-eyed, no worries! Just let out a little laugh; it helps, trust us!
  3. Time for some heat! Add the chopped jalapeños to the bowl. Remember, spicy is good, but it’s all about that balance. Adjust according to your taste preferences!
  4. Chop the fresh cilantro and toss it in. A little cilantro can go a long way to add a fresh kick!
  5. Squeeze in the lime juice like you mean it. This is where the bright, zesty flavor really shines. Add salt to taste, and if you’re feeling adventurous, throw in some minced garlic for a flavor bomb!
  6. Mix it all together gently; you want everything to be well combined but not mushy. Taste, adjust your seasonings, and voilà!
  7. Let the flavors mingle for about 15 minutes before serving. This helps the ingredients get to know each other (and trust us, they’ll throw a flavor party)! Serve with chips or atop your favorite dish.

And there you have it! Homemade pico de gallo that’s fresh, zesty, and full of character. Enjoy your creation!
