Ingredients

  • 2 large ripe tomatoes deseeded and finely diced
  • half a medium onion finely chopped (see Notes)
  • a handful of coriander chopped (see Notes)
  • 1 green jalapeño chilli finely chopped (see Notes)
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • juice of half to 1 lime

Instructions

  • Mix all the ingredients in a bowl, starting with the juice of half a lime and adding more to taste, if desired. Set aside for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Onion - red onion will give a slightly sweeter taste and vibrant colour, versus white onion giving a sharper flavour - the choice is yours!
  • If you don't like too much heat, feel free to deseed the chilli. Alternatively, use a half a pepper for a milder salsa.
  • Herb alternative - if you don't enjoy the taste of coriander, use parsley as a substitute, however it will alter the flavour profile of the salsa.
  • This pico de gallo salsa recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
