Pico de Gallo


I have a confession.  Before this, I had never made my own fresh tomato salsa.  Can you believe it?  Me neither!  Oh man, I have been missing out!  It is so incredibly simple and I can't believe it has taken me so long.  Having farm fresh tomatoes, onion, and cilantro pack this with flavor.  There is absolutely no reason to ever buy pico de gallo from the store again.  Ever.  If you need some, just follow the instructions below and enjoy!


Ingredients

3 tomatoes, finely chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 large jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced (more if desired)
handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 a lime, juiced
1 Tbsp olive oil
salt to taste


Directions

  1. Combine all ingredients into a bowl and stir to combine.
  2. Let chill at least 1 hour before serving.
