"Pico de Gallo"

During the summer we have a garden which contains all of the ingredients below that I have used for the last few summers to make homemade "Pico de Gallo". I use it to top turkey burgers, serve with fajitas and other Mexican dishes I make, and of course, with tortilla chips. This recipe yields approximately 32 ounces.

Ingredients
  • 4-6 fresh tomatoes depending on size, 6 roma sized, or 4 larger
  • ⅓ white onion
  • bunch of cilantro - approximately 1/4 cup loosely packed 
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded or with seeds in depending on spice preference
  • 1 lime
  • salt
  • 2 cloves of garlic
Instructions
  1. Finely dice tomato and onion
  2. chop cilantro into fine pieces 
  3. Add the onion and cilantro and garlic.
  4. Slice the lime in half and squeeze both halves on top
  5. Add a few pinches of salt
  6. Add the jalapeno pepper and blend.
