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.

Tips:

Use fresh, ripe ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the flavor of your pico de gallo. Look for tomatoes that are firm and have a deep red color, onions that are white or yellow and have no blemishes, and cilantro that is fresh and green.
Chop your ingredients evenly: This will help to ensure that the flavors of all of the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the pico de gallo.
Don't overmix your pico de gallo: Overmixing can cause the ingredients to become mushy and lose their flavor.
Let your pico de gallo chill for at least 30 minutes before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
Serve your pico de gallo with your favorite Mexican dishes: Pico de gallo is a versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and more.
