Best Homers Traditional Pico De Gallo Recipes
HOMER'S TRADITIONAL PICO DE GALLO
This is a tradional Pico de Gallo recipe that has been in my family for several generations. Many current recipes are variations of this simple one, and their taste is cluttered by garlic or other spices not usually included in the traditional recipe. This makes a great dip for tortilla chips, or in a layered bean dip. One can make great guacamole by smoothing out ripe avocadoes and adding this pico with a little more lime juice and salt to taste. I use a minimum of salt, so you may need to add more to suit your taste.

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.

BEK'S FAMOUS PICO DE GALLO
This started with my sister in law, moved to my mother in law, Sally, of the many other recipes I've posted, and now I've adapted it for my family. I decided a while back to use canned RoTel instead of fresh tomatoes and habaneros as she does, simply because it gave more consistent flavor and heat. Also, the preservaties in the canned version keep it from getting too watery the next day (not that there's often any LEFT the next day once DH sees it in the fridge!) Feel free to sub fresh when tomatoes are in season with the hot peppers of your choice; just watch for mushy tomatoes, though, that can ruin a good batch faster than anything. Most of the ingredients are to taste, so feel free to play with the amounts. I never measure, so these are approximate. Oh, and fresh cilantro is ESSENTIAL!

Steps:
- Make sure tomatoes are drained well.
- Combine ingredients in a bowl, cover and refrigerate for about an hour to marry the flavors.
- You can eat it right away, though!
- If you're using fresh tomatoes and peppers, you'll want to add about 1/4 tsp to 1/2 tsp of salt to taste.
- Since i use canned, I don't add any salt.
- My favorite chips are blue corn chips - enjoy!

PICO DE GALLO
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

TEXAS BEST PICO DE GALLO
In Texas and Mexico, this is known as pico de gallo, but in Central America it's known as Chismol. It's best with fresh vegetables from the garden or farmers market. Tip: do not overchop ingredients; onion and tomatoes should not be mushy. We use pico de gallo as a relish, dip, topping for baked potatoes, Mexican food or fish, or mix it with pinto beans, black-eyed peas or rice.
