Pico de Gallo

The trick here is an even dice, so each scoop has the same crisp mix of tomato and heat. A quick rest with lime brings this everyday red-onion-and-jalapeño pico together.

Notes

  • Use Roma Tomatoes: Roma tomatoes have less moisture and hold their texture better than larger slicing tomatoes.
  • Uniform Cuts: Keeping all of the vegetables the same size makes every bite balanced.
  • Fresh is Best: Pico de gallo is best enjoyed the day it's made but will keep refrigerated for up to 2 days.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve with Vegetarian Egg Rolls, Vegetarian Quinoa Bean Burgers, Vegetarian Chorizo, tacos, burritos, nachos, grain bowls, or tortilla chips.
