Pico de Gallo Salsa

Pico de Gallo is an authentic Mexican salsa made with fresh ingredients such as tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, and cilantro.  This is my favorite salsa recipe.  It has a bit of a kick to it.  If it is too spicy for you, just decrease the amount of jalapeno used in the recipe.  Serve with tortilla chips, on a taco, along side grilled chicken breast, or add 1/4 cup to one mashed avocado to make a quick guacamole.

Ingredients:

• 5 medium ripe tomatoes, seeds removed and chopped
• 1/2 cup white onion, diced
• 2 tbsp cilantro leaves, chopped
• 1 jalapeno pepper, seeds removed and finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 3 tbsp lime juice
• salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

Combine all ingredients, let flavors sit for 1 hour before serving.
