• 1 cup finely chopped white onion (approximately one small onion)
• 1 medium jalapeño or serrano pepper, seeds and pits removed, finely chopped (adjust to your spice preference)
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt (adjust to taste)
• 1 1/2 pounds ripe red tomatoes (about 8 small or 4 large), finely chopped
• 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro (about 1 bunch)

How to Craft the Perfect Pico de Gallo:

1. In a medium-sized serving bowl, combine the finely chopped onion, jalapeño, lemon juice, and salt. Allow them to marinate for about 5 minutes while you diligently chop the tomatoes and cilantro.
2. Introduce the chopped tomatoes and cilantro to the bowl, and gently stir to blend all the ingredients. Taste and adjust the salt if needed.
3. For an optimal flavor infusion, let the mixture steep for a minimum of 15 minutes or even several hours in the refrigerator. Serve as a dipping delight, utilizing a slotted spoon or a generous serving fork to ensure you don’t transfer excess tomato juice. Your pico de gallo will keep well in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 4 days.
