I ♥ pico de gallo. Not only for mexican dishes, but for all kinds of food. It’s great on salads, steaks, and chicken among other things! This was the first time I’d ever made pico at home, and it was super easy. There’s really nothing to it, other than dicing up a few tomatoes, jalapenos and onion. Add a few squeezes of fresh lime juice and a sprinkle of kosher salt. Mix it all together and you are good to go! YUM!
Pico de Gallo
5 plum tomatoes
2 jalapenos
1/4- 1/2 small red onion
1 lime
cilantro
kosher salt, to taste
Directions: Dice tomatoes, onion and jalapenos in a very small dice. (Remove seeds from jalapenos for less heat) Place all the chopped veggies in a medium bowl. Add in some fresh, chopped cilantro (as much as you prefer). Stir all together and then squeeze in the juice of one lime. Add a sprinkling of kosher salt and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Your blog is so deliciously amazing, by far one of the best I have come across. I will be making a ton of your recipes hands down. Thank you so much for sharing 🙂
