Pico De Gallo from the Garden for a Crowd image

This is bright, fresh and right out of the garden! If you like it thicker add tomato sauce or paste. I usually mix 4 ounces of tomato sauce with 4 tablespoons of tomato paste to get a thicker salsa for hubby, but use as much or as little as you like. Serve with tortilla chips. Hope you try this for your next party!

Time 4h30m

Yield 1/2 gallon, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

8 cups tomatoes, seeded, chopped and drained
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
1/4 cup parsley, chopped fine
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped fine (more to taste)
1 red onion, chopped fine
1/2 white onion, chopped fine
4 scallions, chopped fine
1 green bell pepper, small, chopped fine
1 teaspoon chives, chopped fine
6 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped fine
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon brown sugar
salt and pepper (to taste)
2 limes, juiced (use the zest from one lime as an add-in)
tomato sauce
tomato paste

Steps:

  • Prepare tomatoes and let drain while you chop the rest of the ingredients. I cut everything by hand the first time and got a backache so use your food processor if you have one.
  • Mix in a large bowl with a wooden spoon and pour into plastic containers. Do not process - this is a fresh salsa.
  • Store in the refrigerator for 3 or 4 hours before serving. Refrigerate leftovers.
