How to make simple homemade Pico de Gallo, with fresh tomatoes, cilantro, onions, peppers, and more!
Fresh Pico de Gallo ( also called salsa fresca) with lots of juicy bright red tomatoes, crispy sweet bell peppers, and spicy jalapenos. How delicious does that sound?! Like seriously, I could munch on it all day, and to be completely honest with you – I DO! I love homemade pico de gallo, and I usually always have it on hand because it’s so cheap & easy to make. Oh, and it also happens to be on the healthier side!
I only use fresh ingredients for my pico de gallo. I don’t use any canned tomatoes, or etc. EVERYTHING is fresh. The ingredients that I use are tomatoes, cilantro, garlic, onions, bell peppers, jalapenos, and lots of freshly squeezed lime juice.
When I make my pico de gallo I chop everything by hand, because I like it nice and chunky. However, if you’d like, you can use a food processor!
This simple pico de gallo recipe is the best ever ( and I’m not just saying it because it’s my recipe LOL!). It’s perfect for all occasions!

What happened to the cilantro???
Oh my. Thanks for pointing that out. I fixed it.
looks delicious can you omit the jalapeño peppers
Hi Darlene! Absolutely.
Yes, but the jalapeno is what really brings out the robust flavor and in this recipe!
I totally agree. However, some people can’t tolerate the spice. In that case, they can leave it out 🙂
I see celery on the picture but not in the recipe. Do you use celery
You don’t see celery in the picture hun. You see green onions & cilantro. Although it does look like celery 🙂
Gorgeous photo! We love this recipe. Yes, everything has to be fresh…no canned ingredients! Pinned. Thanks for sharing.
