Classic Pico de Gallo Salsa Recipe – How to Make Pico de Gallo

Ingredients

1 pound vine ripened tomatoes
2 jalapeno peppers
1 small white onion
3 cloves garlic
1 packed cup cilantro cleaned and stemmed – 1/2 to 1 cup packed, to your preference
Juice from 1 lime
1 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Directions

Dice the tomatoes and place them into a large mixing bowl.
Stem the jalapeno peppers and finely mince them. Add them to the bowl.
Mince the onion, garlic and cilantro. Into the bowl they go.
Add lime juice, cumin, and salt and pepper to taste.
Mix well.
Cover and let the flavor mingle for a good hour or so, though you can serve it right away if you’re in a hurry.

Makes 3-4 cups.

Heat Factor: Mild-Medium. You’ll get a bit of a kick from the jalapenos, depending on their variable heat value. You can really spice it up by incorporating serrano peppers or even spicier habanero peppers.

  1. Michael be kind … I use Serrano peppers and go light on the cilantro. This is great stuff, I don't grow cilantro and often wondered what it would taste like with sweet basil instead, .. I grow a bunch of this …. and will have to still buy the limes.

  2. I picked and dehydrated a couple hundred ghost peppers for my own powder/seasoning. I mixed that in on top and was amazing! I have tried many of your recipes and I love them. You do a Great service for the hot pepper community. Thank you for all you do for chiliheads like us.
