Salsa Fresca (Pico de Gallo)

Ingredients

• 1 lb. vine-ripened tomatoes (or roma)
• 1/2 cup white onion
• 1/3 cup fresh cilantro
• 1-2 jalapeño peppers
• 2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
• 1/2 tsp. salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Finely dice the tomatoes and onion. (I remove and discard the excess liquid & seeds from the tomatoes.)

2. 2

   Roughly chop the cilantro. Finely dice the jalapeño (removing the seeds and inner ribs for a milder version if you wish).

3. 3

   Add all ingredients to a medium bowl with the lime juice and salt. Toss well.

4. 4

   Now is when the magic happens! You can serve it immediately but for best flavor, I highly recommend letting it sit and marinate in a sealed container in the refrigerator for a couple hours (or even overnight) to let the flavors combine & enhance. This takes it from good to spectacular!
