How To Make Pico de Gallo From Scratch
- Prep the ingredients. Roughly dice the tomatoes and onions then chop the cilantro. If you’re using jalapenos, you want to make sure they are deseeded, and then you should finely dice them.
- Combine the ingredients. In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and jalapenos (if using). Add the lime juice and salt. Stir to combine. Taste and adjust the salt, lime, and/or jalapenos, if using. Place in the fridge until ready to serve.
- Serve with tortilla chips. Enjoy!
What is the difference between salsa and pico de Gallo?
Salsa is more liquidly while pico is more chunky. My Quick + Easy Homemade Fire Roasted Salsa is made with similar ingredients except they are blended into a salsa-like consistency.
Can you freeze fresh pico?
You can freeze it however I don’t recommend it. The consistency of the tomatoes will change and become more mushy which is not the best. This is such an easy recipe that you can make it on a whim any day of the week! No need to freeze.
How long does pico de gallo last?
You can keep fresh pico in an airtight container for up to a week in the fridge.
