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

Method
 

  1. Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl.
  2. 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 jalapeƱo.
- 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.
