Pico de Gallo

Pico de gallo has so many uses even though most people just think of it as a chunky dip with chips or best with bruschetta bread. It’s delicious on fish, chicken, and a toasted bagel with cream cheese.

One tip when dicing and mincing your ingredients for pico de gallo, keep in mind that size matters. The tomato cubes need to be about 1/4″ thick and do fine mince when needed. This improves taste and presentation but also makes it easier to serve. Just like salsa, feel free to adjust the heat level by adding more jalapeño. And don’t forget to let this mixture hang out for a while to really let the tomatoes absorb the flavors of the onion, garlic, and lime juice. This recipe makes enough for four or so servings or a party dip. Simply double the recipe to make more.
