Ingredients for Pico De Gallo Restaurant Recipe

Here’s what you’ll need to make about 5-6 cups of fresh pico de gallo:

• 5 Roma tomatoes, diced
• 1 white onion, chopped
• 1 large jalapeño, seeds removed and finely chopped

How to Make Pico de Gallo Restaurant Recipe

Step 1: Prep the Vegetables

Start by chopping your vegetables. Dice the tomatoes, chop the onion, finely chop the cilantro, and remove the seeds from the jalapeño before finely chopping it.

Pro Tip: If you’re short on time, a food processor will make quick work of the chopping. Simply pulse the ingredients for a few seconds, but be careful not to overdo it—you want some texture in your pico de gallo.

Step 2: Mix Everything Together

In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped onion, cilantro, and jalapeño.

Step 3: Add Lime Juice and Season

Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture, then sprinkle a dash of salt to taste. Gently stir everything together until well combined.

Step 4: Refrigerate and Let Flavors Combine

For the best flavor, refrigerate the pico de gallo for at least 4 hours before serving. This allows the ingredients to mesh and creates a more flavorful salsa.

Storage Tips

You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Though it may last longer, it’s typically devoured within days!
