A super easy Pico de Gallo (or Salsa Fresca) recipe for your next party, snack, or taco dinner.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 people 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 5 oz tomatoes (diced)
  • 1/4 medium red onion (diced – about 1.5 oz )
  • 1 clove Garlic (grated/chopper)
  • 1 jalapeño (optional)
  • 20 sprigs cilantro (chopped (stems and all))
  • juice of 1 lime
  • salt (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Dice tomatoes, and red onion and add to bowl.
  2. Grate one clove of garlic (small clove unless you want a strong garlic taste) straight into the bowl.
  3. Add one chopped jalapeño (optional), I skip this because my 2 youngest kids LOVE pico de Gallo, but really can’t handle spicy food yet.
  4. Add cilantro and lime juice. Salt if needed.
  5. Mix together, let sit for a few minutes* and enjoy with Tortilla Chips.

Equipment

Notes

*The longer you let it sit, the better the flavors will meld together.
