pico de gallo


I made The Pioneer Woman's pico de gallo last week and it was AMAZING!  The recipe was in my cookbook, but she also has it posted on her blog.  Her tip for successful pico de gallo is to have equal amounts of ingredients (onions, tomatoes, and cilantro)...the jalapeno peppers do not have to be equal.  Just add as little or as much as you want.  I was a little conservative with it because Clay doesn't like spicy things.


pico de gallo
yellow or red onions
roma tomatoes (slightly underripe is fine)
cilantro
jalapenos
lime
salt

dice up the onions, tomatoes, and cilantro (equal parts).
slice 1 or 2 jalapenos in half (scrape out the seeds with a spoon.  leave the seeds in if you like a little spice. dice the jalapeno and add it to the other ingredients.  dump all four ingredients into a bowl.  slice a lime in half and squeeze the juice from the lime into the bowl.  sprinkle with salt and stir together.  taste and adjust seasonings.  *be sure to taste it with chips
