Instructions

  1. 1

    Dice Tomatoes: Core and finely dice the Roma tomatoes. To prevent a watery salsa, gently squeeze out and discard the excess seeds and juice before dicing. Place in a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Chop Aromatics: Finely dice the white onion and mince the jalapeño peppers. For less heat, ensure all white membranes inside the jalapeños are removed.

  3. 3

    Add Cilantro: Finely chop the fresh cilantro, including the tender upper stems which hold excellent flavor. Add to the bowl.

  4. 4

    Season: Squeeze the fresh lime juice over the chopped ingredients and sprinkle evenly with kosher salt.

  5. 5

    Toss to Combine: Gently toss all the ingredients together with a spoon until evenly mixed.

  6. 6

    Rest and Serve: For the best flavor, let the Pico de Gallo rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving. This allows the salt to draw out the tomato juices and the flavors to meld.
