Authentic Pico De Gallo Recipe

Authentic Pico De Gallo Recipe is fresh and bright and loaded with cilantro.

I literally pile this high on salads, tacos, chips, fajitas, quesadillas, and sliced avocado. I even love pico on my burger. Try my Enchilada Burger and you will too!

If you’ve never made Authentic Pico De Gallo Recipe, it’s a lively combination of tomato, onion, jalapeno, and cilantro. And, don’t forget the squeeze of lime. Lime totally makes it for me.

Authentic Pico De Gallo Recipe

This is an easy condiment recipe to make and enhances everything you serve it with. What I like best about making pico de gallo myself is I can control every aspect of it.

1. I hate a ‘juicy’ pico, so I get all the pulp and seeds out of the tomatoes.
2. I cut the tomatoes first and drain the chopped tomatoes on paper towels.
3. I also find a Roma tomato to be best for this recipe.
4. I like a sweet onion, like a Vidalia best. You can use any variety even a red onion.
5. If you don’t love cilantro reduce the amount to your liking.
6. For me, the tang from a squeeze of lime juice makes all the difference.
