This pico de gallo is so fresh and lovely. I don't even like tomatoes much, but I added this to tostadas made with Pinto beans, ground meat with taco seasoning, sharp cheddar, fresh guach and some Frontera chipotle salsa. Wow. It provided that fresh top note to the meal that tends to get lost in the heavy cumin and spice of the mexican style food I make. My husband is not much in the way of Mexican style food, but he really really liked the p de g. He started spooning it on his plate independent of any other foods.

I've made this Pico de Gallo three times and everyone who tries it RAVES about it. The olive oil I use is garlic-infused which enhances the flavor, and both the black pepper and the Himalayan salt I use are freshly ground. Definitely best if served the next day, and the tomatoes and onions should be chopped fairly small (I have a tendency to chop them too large). Absolutely delicious and smells heavenly.

This is just about as close to perfect as it gets! I love the red onion instead of white, and I go heavy on the jalapeno (seeded and deribbed). I know you're supposed to wait, but I couldn't help digging in to some right after it was made!

Delicious! Lemon juice worked as good as lime juice. Did not use the olive oil.

This is really good Pico. I tried one of those packaged salsa mixes but didn't like the powdered oils and starches. The end flavor was just so so. Mostly it was just a waste of tomatoes and onions imo. Then I tried this recipe. While I'm not a huge cilantro fan, I liked that you could add a little or a lot to this recipe to suit one's own taste and boy did it come out great! Thanks for sharing!
