[donotprint] I used to buy fresh pico de gallo at our local grocery store until I read the ingredients label and discovered it was pretty easy to make at home. In fact, all you need are a few ingredients chopped up and voila, you have pico de gallo.
We love to eat pico de gallo with tacos, on chicken, scrambled eggs, and of course… tortilla chips! Enjoy! [/donotprint]
Pico De Gallo Recipe
Ingredients:
4 ripe tomatoes, seeded and chopped coarsely ( I like vine-ripened tomatoes)
1 med-large onion, chopped coarsely
1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped finely (be careful to wash your hands well after handling jalapenos)
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
Juice of 1 lime
Directions:
Gently combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl. Allow the salsa to rest for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
***Use this pico de gallo to make this guacamole recipe.***

For some reason tacos come to mind. Maybe because I’m hungry. Pass a bowl my way would ya.
Beautiful recipe, but am I crazy or is there a tomato fake-out in that top-left halved-tomato photo? Those look like cherry tomatoes, while the photo above is definitely vine. Creative editing
LOVE pico!It is so versatile.
Absolutely beautiful! I love the vivid colors you get in your pictures. Pico is one of my favorites… Can’t beat fresh lime and cilantro!
my favorite flavors!!! so simple yet so delicious! i always have my fridge stocked with limes, cilantro, chilies, and avocados.
So fresh and tasty!
that really is simple and looks so fresh too! no more pico de gallo from the store for me.
You can practically taste how fresh this Pico De Gallo is just from the pictures- I can only imagine how good it is to taste. I can’t wait to find out for myself!
Beautiful photos and simply wonderful flavours!! Yum!!
wow looks fresh and colorful
It is really easiest recipe yet! I think that is the best way to have chips, once you have chips like that it is hard to go back to buying them at the store. Try them jasmine tea my personal favorite.
Best Regards,
A great set of photos. You are right, no need to buy this at the supermarket it’s too easy to make yourself.
Oh yum! My local Mexican restaurant makes it with some chopped cabbage too…I think it helps “extend” it and makes it yummy tasting too! Thanks for your recipe…lovely pictures too!
pico de gallo IS easy, and SOOO good. You can amp up the lime or down the chili and it’s always so fresh, home-made. Lovely shot.
Hey this looks delicious, and i’m looking at it for the guacamole. Except what is cilantro? Is it like, parsley or something.
NZ.
