PICO DE GALLO

My sister-in-law told me when you make Pico, there are just 6 ingredients.  She was Mexican-American—born in San Antonio, TX. . .she certainly knew how to make the best Pico.  Unfortunately Rose Garcia Casazza passed away August 10, 2023.

2 cups finely chopped ripe red tomatoes,

½ Valdalia onion, finely chopped (1 cup)

1 medium jalapeño, ribs and seeds removed, finely chopped

½ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

Zest and juice of ½ lime

¾ t fine sea salt

In a medium bowl, combine the chopped onion, tomatoes, onion, jalapeñõ, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, and sea salt. Set aside.

Let mixture marinate for 15 minutes, covered on the counter.

Do not refrigerate because tomatoes loose their flavor when refrigerated.

Serve with your favorite tortilla chips.
