This Pico de Gallo recipe is my husband’s favorite of them all, just enough kick from the jalapeno without overwhelming all of the deliciously fresh ingredients! It is quick and simple, and garnishes your Mexican, Spanish, or TexMex dishes perfectly. Best of all – it is super fresh!!
Amazingly fresh Pico de Gallo that is packed with authentic Mexican flavors and vibrant colors!
Pico De Gallo Recipe
The recipe calls for only small amounts of the tomato, onion, and jalapeno but that is simply because we make it on demand for any given meal.
Scale the recipe up for larger servings with the same great flavors!
Whatever you may have leftover will refrigerate well in an airtight container, and in fact tends to taste better on day two after all of the ingredients have taken in their combined juices. So, day one and two are fantastic…and our Pico de Gallo never lasts longer than that 😉
Don’t forget to make up some homemade guacamole, salsa verde or salsa roja while you’re at it!
