Step 1

Finely chop the onion and jalapeño. (For a milder version, remove the seeds from the jalapeño). Mince the garlic. Add these three ingredients to a bowl with the lime juice and a healthy pinch of salt (at least 1/4 tsp. to start). Stir, and set aside.

Step 2

Finely chop the roma tomatoes and cilantro, then add to the bowl. Add a pinch of freshly cracked black pepper, stir, and taste. Season with more salt, pepper, or lime juice if needed!

Step 3

Eat fresh! Or refrigerate the pico de gallo in an airtight container for at least 30 minutes before serving, if possible.**
