Pico de Gallo

This post was originally featured on KansasWomenBloggers.com 

    With Memorial Weekend almost here, who isn’t looking for a fun recipe to whip up and feed the crew? What makes this recipe even better is that you can make it “lakeside-style”. 

Simply put, Pico de Gallo is easy and quick enough that you can make it with just a few fresh veggies, a knife, and a bowl. Pico de Gallo is basically an uncooked Mexican style salad full of tomatoes, onions, peppers, and cilantro. 

Don’t let it sit for hours in the refrigerator or it will just get gooey and gross; make it right before serving so it’s fresh, crisp, and bursting with summer flavor! 

You'll need:

5 firm Roma tomatoes

1/4 of a large red onion

1 Jalapeño pepper

1/2 cup Cilantro

1/2 a lime

Salt

Freshly cracked black pepper

 Start by washing the tomatoes, cilantro, lime, and pepper. 

Then, finely dice the tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, and cilantro. Place in a bowl. Squeeze the lime juice over the diced veggies. Add a little freshly cracked pepper and a dash of salt. (You'll want to adjust the amount of salt according to how salty you like it and how salty your chips are.) Stir together and serve right away! 

Variations - 

- You can change the amounts of veggies to fit your personal likes and dislikes. Make it yours!

- Add some Pico de Gallo to raw beef burgers before grilling to give the burgers some extra juice and a little pop!

Enjoy!
