How to Make the Best Pico de Gallo
- Dice the Tomatoes
Remove the seeds for less moisture if you like, then dice your tomatoes into small pieces. - Chop Onion, Cilantro & Pepper
Keep the onion and chili pepper finely chopped for balanced bites. Use gloves when handling spicy peppers if you’re sensitive. - Combine & Season
Mix all ingredients in a bowl, add freshly squeezed lime juice and salt, and stir to combine. - Let It Sit (Optional, but Recommended)
Let your pico de gallo rest for 10–15 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors meld beautifully.
