  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion

Directions:

Classic Tomato Pico de Gallo:

  • chop the tomatoes, onion, and cilantro
  • dice the jalapeno
  • mince the garlic (I use a garlic press to get it really fine)
  • juice the lime (I use a handy lime squeezer)
  • stir everything together; add salt and pepper to taste
Stir all ingredients together in a bowl adding salt and pepper to taste. Best if served right away, but may be chilled for several hours. Drain any accumulated liquid before serving, if necessary.

Serve with tortilla chips, as a condiment with Mexican dishes, stirred into rice or quinoa for a flavorful pilaf, or as a topping for grilled fish or chicken.
