Authentic Homemade Mexican Pico de Gallo Salsa

My first cooking job ever was as a prep cook at a Mexican restaurant to put myself through college - I used to make gallons of Pico de Gallo, also known as Salsa Fresca and Salsa Cruda, every morning - the secret is balancing the ingredients perfectly and letting it marinate in its own juices overnight.

Steps

1
Done

Tips: I typically use nice, ripe and firm vine tomatoes, or romano tomatoes. I also always remove the seeds and the inner part of the tomato so the salsa is not soupy. Always measure the tomatoes and onions after dicing - you want an equal portion of each.

2
Done

Dice the tomatoes and onions. Add 1 cup each to a mixing bowl. Dice the pepper, chop the cilantro and add. Mix, season with salt, pepper and the juice of 2 limes. Mix well. I recommend letting it marinate in its own juices for several hours before serving. it's also best when served crisp and cold. Add minced garlic if desired as well.
