Pico de Gallo

Ingredients

  • 5 whole Plum (Roma) Tomatoes
  • 1/2 whole Large (or 1 Small) Onion
  • 3 whole Jalapeno Peppers (my family are spice wimps so I left these out)
  • Cilantro
  • Lime Juice
  • Salt To Taste

Directions

  1. Chop jalapenos, tomatoes and onions into a very small dice. (Leave seeds in your jalapenos for a hotter pico). Adjust amount of jalapenos to your preferred temperature. 
  2. Next, chop up a nice-sized bunch of cilantro. Just remove and discard the long leafless stems before chopping. No need to remove the leaves from the stems completely. 
  3. Place all of these ingredients together in a bowl and give it a good stir.
  4. Squeeze the juice of half of one lime into the bowl. Add salt to taste and stir again.
  5. I put my pico in my food processor for a couple quick pulses.  My family enjoys smaller chunks.  Just be careful not to over blend, this isn't salsa.
