Simply Pico De Gallo

There is something about the great flavours of Pico De Gallo.  More often than not there is a bowl of Pico De Gallo in the fridge.  Since our FREE trip to Mexico (more on that HERE!) my family has fallen in love with it.  The buffet at our resort had a HUGE bowl of it at every meal.  Yes every meal.  Even breakfast.  Have you had Pico De Gallo on your fried eggs?  Ohhh boy delicious.  Hubs is not a huge tomato fan but even he loves to top his steaks with Picco De Gallo.  Our version is simple but delicious.  You could add garlic, jalapeno, or cumin.  But the flavors are great on their own.  Here is the version we love!

Cast of characters:



4 roma tomatoes seeded
1/2 large red onion
1/4 Cup chopped cilantro
2 limes juiced
Salt to taste

Yes that is all.  Chop the seeded tomatoes and onions so that they are smaller than bite-size.  Add the juice of the limes.  Mix in the chopped cilantro.  Add salt to taste.  Now the hard part.  Let it mix and mingle in the fridge for at least an hour.  I always need to taste test with a tortilla chip.  ;)

The result:


This of course can be adjusted to your tastes.  I like LOTS of cilantro.  Great on chicken, fish, beef, eggs or with tortilla chips!  And if you believe it.... the kids like it on their hot dogs. 

Enjoy!

  2. I love Pico de Gallo and would be thrilled to have it for every meal. My recipe is very simple and similar to yours. I love garlic so I add some garlic salt but other than that I keep it the same. Thank you for sharing!
