EX-GIRLFRIEND'S MOM'S SALSA FRESCA (PICO DE GALLO)



Ex-Girlfriend's Mom's Salsa Fresca (Pico de Gallo) image

My ex's mom had the best hand-chopped salsa fresca I have ever tasted back in college. Over the years, I have tweaked it to something my friends and family rave about. The trick for this salsa is marinating the onions and jalapenos in lime juice for about 5 minutes before adding the tomatoes and cilantro. There are two tricks to this recipe: 1. Hand-chop everything. It takes a while, but it is worth it. 2. The marinating is what makes this salsa special. Hope you enjoy.

  • Add Some Lime Juice: Lime juice adds a bright, acidic flavor to pico de gallo. Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor.
  • Season to Taste: Season the pico de gallo with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a pinch of cumin or chili powder for extra flavor.
  • Chill Before Serving: Chill the pico de gallo for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and develop.
