Easy, Homemade Pico de Gallo Recipe (Fresh Tomato Salsa)
Everyone loves this easy homemade Pico de Gallo recipe with fresh tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime juice. Made in just 10 minutes, it’s the perfect fresh and flavorful topping for all of your favorite Mexican dishes!
Ingredients
- 1 lb tomatoes (3-4 medium), diced
- 1 medium onion (1 cup chopped)
- 1 jalapeno pepper ribbed, seeded and finely minced
- ½ cup cilantro chopped
- 2 tablespoons lime juice from 1 lime
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
Instructions
- In a medium serving bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt.
- Let marinate for about 15 minutes
- Taste and add more salt if needed.
Notes
- Chop your ingredients by hand into small, evenly-sized pieces so the vegetables keep their texture and there will be flavor in every bite. Processing them in a food processor makes more of a soupy salsa.
- Let your pico de gallo salsa rest before serving. Marinating for about 15 minutes before serving allows the salt to draw moisture out of the ingredients so their flavors blend.
