Andrew is a connoisseur of salsas, but fresh, simple, six-ingredient pico de gallo is his favorite. We eat it with chips, add it to tacos or taco salad and top steaks with it—delicious!
Ingredients:
1 small white onion, diced (or 1/2 a large onion, diced)
2 large Roma tomatoes, cored and diced (taking out the seeds reduces excess moisture)
1 large jalapeno, cored and diced (or 2 small jalapenos, cored and diced)
juice of 2 limes (we used 3 in this recipe because they were really small)
Cilantro, chopped, to taste
Salt to taste
Steps:
1. Mix diced onion, jalapenos, tomatoes and chopped cilantro in bowl.
2. Wash hands after handling jalapeno! I forget this step a lot, and it is no fun putting contacts in the next morning.
3. Squeeze lime into onion, jalapeno, tomato and cilantro mixture.
4 Salt to taste.
5. Toss, taste and adjust ingredient ratios if needed.
6. Toss and refrigerate. (Or eat immediately—we think it's better if it sits for a little while.)
7. Enjoy with chips, steak, tacos or whatever you'd like!

| Chopping cilantro. We add a lot, but you should add it to taste. |
