Pico De Gallo

Pico de gallo is a classic Mexican salsa that's used to top fajitas, burritos, tacos, enchiladas, and chimichangas. Made with very simple ingredients, this healthy, low carb and low-calorie salsa adds a great flavor boost to any meal (and not just Mexican dishes!).

Ingredients

  • 4 medium tomatoes ripe (I recommend plum tomatoes)
  • 1 medium yellow onion
  • 1 bunch cilantro/coriander just the leaves
  • 1 chili serrano or jalapeno
  • 1-2 limes
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Chop the tomatoes into ⅓ inch pieces, and finely dice the onion, the coriander, and the chilli.
  • Mix all the ingredients in a mixing bowl, and season with salt. Squeeze a lime and have a taste and see if you need more lime juice or salt. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Pico de gallo is best when eaten fresh at room temperature or slightly chilled (doesn't taste good if it's cold).
  • Feel free to use 2 chilis instead of 1 if you like spicy salsa.
  • Can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Not suitable for freezing.
