Ingredients

  • ½ large white onion - finely diced
  • 2 Serrano peppers - seeded and diced
  • 1-2 limes - juiced
  • 10 Roma (plum) tomatoes - sliced in half with seeds scooped out
  • cup fresh cilantro - finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Combine the onions, Serrano peppers, fresh lime juice, and salt to a medium serving bowl. Set aside while you prepare the tomatoes and cilantro.
  • Prepare the tomatoes. Slice each tomato in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop the seeds and liquid from the center. Chop the tomatoes into small, equal size pieces. Approximately twice the size of the onions.
  • Transfer the diced tomatoes and cilantro to the bowl with the onions. Mix well to combine and taste. Add additional salt, if needed.
  • For best results, allow the mixture to marinate for at least 15 minutes up to several hours in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Pico de Gallo stores well in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3-4 days. It does not freeze well.
