Ingredients

• 4-5 sun-ripened Roma tomatoes, seeded and finely diced

• 1 small red onion, finely chopped

• ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

• 1-2 jalapeño peppers, stems and seeds removed, minced (adjust for desired heat)

• 1 large lime, juiced (about 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lime juice)

• ½ teaspoon sea salt, or to taste

Instructions

1. Combine: In a medium bowl, gently combine the diced tomatoes, chopped red onion, fresh cilantro, and minced jalapeño.

2. Season: Drizzle the fresh lime juice over the mixture and sprinkle with sea salt.

3. Mix & Rest: Stir everything together until well combined. For the best flavor, let the Pico de Gallo rest for at least 15 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld together.
