Notes

  • For less heat, remove the jalapeño seeds and membranes before dicing.
  • Let the pico de gallo sit for 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Use ripe but firm roma tomatoes for best texture and flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of lime juice and salt according to your taste preferences.
