PICO DE GALLO (AUTHENTIC)

Steps:

• Cut the tomatoes in half and use a teaspoon to scoop out the seeds and watery centre. Cut into 1cm / 1/3" dice.
• Combine with remaining ingredients. Set aside for 5 to 20 minutes. Serve as a topping or side for things like tacos, burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas and any Mexican dish!
• This can be made ahead up to 1 day. Leave out the lime juice and salt (otherwise the tomato juices will leech out), cover and refrigerate. Drain excess liquid, add lime juice and salt just before serving.

AUTHENTIC, WELL-BALANCED PICO DE GALLO

Steps:

• Give the tomatoes, jalapeno, and cilantro a good rinse. Peel the onion and de-stem the tomatoes and jalapeno. I usually twist off and discard the bottom, thicker portions of the cilantro stems, but keep the upper portion of the stems that hold the leaves together.
• Finely chop the 2 tomatoes, 1/2 onion, and jalapeno into 1/4" sized chunks. Finely dice the cilantro. For a milder version you can start by using only 1/2 of the jalapeno and adding more incrementally if you want more heat.
• Combine the tomato, onion, jalapeno and cilantro in a mixing bowl. Add a heaping 1/4 teaspoon of salt and the juice of a single lime. Mix together well and taste for seasoning. Add additional salt and lime if necessary (I added more salt to this batch).
• Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Steps:

• Wash all of the vegetables. Finely chop the tomatoes and red onion into small chunks. Place them in a medium-sized bowl. Wash and deseed the jalapeño pepper. Remove the white rib on the inside and all the seeds and discard. Finely chop the jalapeno and add to the bowl with the tomatoes and onions.
• Squeeze all of the juice from 1 lime, about 2 tbsp, and add to the bowl of chopped vegetables.
• Chop cilantro very finely and add to the bowl. Add sea salt.
• Stir to combine the vegetables, lime juice, salt, and cilantro. Serve immediately!
• Enjoy!
