Living most of my life in California I have a fondness for Mexican food. I developed this recipe after eating at many different restaurants & home cooked meals. It is a simple & healthy recipe that I want to share.

Time 10m

Yield 4 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups tomatoes, diced
1 cup yellow onion, diced (preferably a sweet Vidalia)
1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon celery seed

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients in bowl and serve.
  • Hints: Tastes great on eggs or rice or a taco or my new favorite, "Healthy Baked Corn Tortilla Chips, recipe #263512." Also find the much less expensive fresh cilantro next to the bunched parsley vs. the prepackaged cilantro in the plastic boxes in the ready made salad mix section of the supermarket.
  • Variations: Spice it up with a diced chipotle pepper or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or use 1/2 cup fresh diced celery in place of the celery seed for more of a crunch.

HOW TO MAKE PICO DE GALLO



How to Make Pico de Gallo image

Sometimes when you eat authentic Mexican food, they give you this salsa stuff made with tomatoes, onions, and jalapenos. You can add a squeeze of lime juice to pico de gallo, but I prefer this basic recipe. Once you serve this with your Mexican dish such as tacos, you will want it with all your Mexican dishes!

This easy pico de gallo recipe is a classic for good reason. It pairs with just about everything! My tip is to let it chill for an hour or two before serving to help the flavors blend. Also, it's best to serve it the same day that it's made. -Jeannie Trudell, Del Norte, Colorado
