Fresh Pico De Gallo
This is so easy to make and not only delicious but versatile. Use it for many other add ons in recipes. I usually make a big batch and then incorporate it into a few different recipes throughout the week.
Mio Myo Pico De Gallo
I always find the second day this tastes so much better. All the ingredients really have a chance to marinate with each other and the flavours really intensifies making it outstanding.
Finish it off with some Tortilla Chips, pita bread or crackers of your choice.
P.S. Always use fresh cilantro, it makes the difference from good to great!

Pico De Gallo
Equipment
- Chef Knife, Paring Knife
Materials
- 3 individual Plum Tomatoes
- 1 large White Onion
- 1 medium Lime
- 1 cup Loosely Packed Cilantro
- 1/2 piece Jalapeno
- 1 tsp Sea salt
- 1 pinch Cracked Black Pepper Optional
Instructions
- Slice the plum tomatoes and remove the inner flesh and seeds. Next cut the remaining skin parts of the tomatoes into 1/4 inch pieces or as close as you can.Note: I remove the seeds and flesh so it is not so watery. (optional).
- Peel the onion and dice into same size pieces as the tomatoes.
- Next half the Jalapeno and remove the seeds to reduce extra heat. (optional) Slice it into very small bits. This is more for flavour as you wouldn't want bigger pieces of the pepper in the mix.
- Using your chef knife, cut the cilantro into small pieces. You can do this using the pivot method. If you are not sure what the pivot method is I will leave a link to my course on knife skills.
- Add the chopped ingredients to a bowl and cut and squeeze the fresh lime juice in.
- Add the salt and black pepper and mix everything completely.
- You can eat right away or let it sit in the fridge for at least an hour to bring out the flavours more. It will be even better the next day.
