Fresh made pico de gallo….mmmmmmm….
Makes about 5 cups
The ice bath for the onion is important to remove the strong odor and flavor caused by the sulfur compounds. The quick ice rinse removes most of this, leaving only the sweet onion flavor to really shine through! Removing the seeds and liquid from the tomatoes is important, too, to keep from having watery salsa instead.
1 cup white onion, finely chopped
4 cups diced red ripe tomatoes, discarding seeds
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 Tablespoons chopped fresh jalapeno (more or less to taste)
1 Tablespoon red wine vinegar or lime juice
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1. Prep Onion: Place onion in a medium bowl and cover with ice water. Stir gently then drain well. Return drained onion to the bowl.
2. Finish & Serve: Add remaining ingredients to bowl. Stir to combine. Adjust spice using more jalapeno, if desired. Enjoy!
