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. As well,I cut the tomatoes first and drain the chopped tomatoes on paper towels.
3. I also find a Roma tomato to be the best for this recipe.
4. Additionally, I like sweet onion, like a Vidalia best. You can use any variety even 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.
