Fresh Heirloom Pico de Gallo: Taste the Rainbow!
Pico de gallo: whip up this vibrant heirloom tomato salsa in minutes. Perfect for tacos, chips, or grilled dishes, bursting with fresh flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 cups heirloom tomatoes, seeded and chopped (about 4 medium tomatoes)
- 1 small red onion
- 1 chili pepper seeds removed and minced
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- limes
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl.
- Allow to sit for 30 minutes so flavors combine and serve as a dip with tortilla chips or on top of grilled chicken or fish.
Notes
- Use the ripest heirloom tomatoes you can find; their natural sweetness and varied textures are key to this pico de gallo's flavor.
- For a milder kick, remove all the seeds and white membranes from the chili pepper, or use a less potent variety like a jalapeño.
- To prevent a watery pico de gallo, ensure you thoroughly seed the tomatoes. This removes excess moisture and concentrates the fresh flavor.
- This pico de gallo can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors will deepen over time. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
