I seriously HEART pico!! Mmmm - it is the perfect addition to burritos, Cafe Rio type salads, and it's divine just eaten straight up as salsa. Yum! Pico makes me happy. :)
Pico de Gallo
-4 large ripe plum tomatoes, seeded and finely chopped
-1 small white onion, finely chopped
-1/2 cup cilantro leaves, chopped (or more to taste)
-2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped
-1 TBSP lime juice
-salt, to taste
Combine all ingredients, cover, and refrigerate at least one hour. Serve the same day.
Tip: There is this awesome thing called the "Vidalia Chop Wizard". It's "As Seen on TV" which sounds totally crazy, but it is amazing and a must for pico making. It does all the chopping for you in a matter of seconds and all the pieces are uniform. Like I said, perfect for pico. And for anything else where you need finely diced vegetables (like pretty much every recipe where it calls for diced onions at the beginning!) You can get it at Target and at Bed, Bath, and Beyond.
