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.

½ Valdalia onion, finely chopped (1 cup)

1 medium jalapeño, ribs and seeds removed, finely chopped

Zest and juice of ½ lime

¾ t fine sea salt

1 lb cherry tomatoes or Roma tomatoes, finely chopped (2 cups) 

½ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

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

Chop the tomatoes and add to the bowl with the onions.

Add the cilantro and mix to combine.

Taste to adjust salt and 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.
