Ingredients

  • 1 cup small diced grape tomatoes
  • ¼ cup minced sweet onion
  • ½ a fresh jalapeño, diced with ribs and seeds removed
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro loosely-packed; with most of the stems removed
  • 1 dash onion powder
  • 1 dash garlic powder
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • 2 pinches salt or to taste; do not oversalt

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, stir together the diced tomatoes, minced onion, diced jalapeño, cilantro, onion powder, garlic powder, sugar, and salt.
    1 cup small diced grape tomatoes, ¼ cup minced sweet onion, ½ a fresh jalapeño, diced, ¼ cup chopped cilantro, 1 dash onion powder, 1 dash garlic powder, ½ tsp sugar, 2 pinches salt
  • Taste and adjust as needed. If too mild for your taste, add some more diced jalapeño. Add more salt if needed (carefully—you don't want to oversalt the pico).
  • Optional: Pulse about half of the pico de gallo in a food processor to break it down further and create a smoother consistency. Mix it back in with the chunkier half for a perfect pico/salsa hybrid.
  • Serve this pico de gallo as a dip or alongside your favorite Mexican dishes, like tacos or taco salad. You can also mix it into Mexican Street Corn Salad or Mexican Rice.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
