Easy Pico de Gallo

4/25/17

A colorful combination of chopped vegetables served in a green and orange bowl.How to make simple homemade Pico de Gallo, with fresh tomatoes, cilantro, onions, peppers, and more!

A Tasty Recipe for Easy Pico de Gallo!

Bright and colorful vegetables in a white strainer ready to be made into a tasty pico de gallo!

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!

        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 🙂

      You don’t see celery in the picture hun. You see green onions & cilantro. Although it does look like celery 🙂

      Hi Shelley! I’m just getting into the “canning world” so, I’m unsure. I apologize.
