Pico de gallo

Meadowwood Garden Pico de gallo

Our version of a Pico de gallo.  Easy to make, fresh and delicious!

Exact measurements are not important — the idea of Pico de gallo is to use what you have on hand.  This should be completely drained of liquid and served fresh.  Refrigeration will dull the taste.

Ingredients:

  • Tomato (remove seeds)
  • Onion
  • Pepper (Jalapeno is best)
  • Cucumber
  • Lime Juice
  • Cilantro

Dice approximately equal amounts of tomato, onion and cucumber.  Dice a smaller amount of pepper (how much depends on how hot you want it).  We often skip the pepper for a no-heat Pico.  Mix into a large glass bowl with enough lime juice to get everything wet and add cilantro to taste.  Let it sit covered on the counter for a couple hours, then drain off any liquid and dig in with your favorite tortilla chips!  Sublime!

Oh now I’m craving that awesome spicy limey flavor. I always add salt too just after draining and before serving. I can’t help it, I’m a salt fiend.

In other tomato recipes, I made pomodori al forno on Sunday, and they were to die for. Recipe attached. Maybe someday this summer I’ll use MY OWN tomatoes in these recipes… here’s hoping!

Thanks for the recipe! I’m sure you will have tomatoes soon!

Tomatoes are just starting to come on in force here. I’m patiently waiting for the Romas to ripen up so I can try making some sun-dried tomatoes.
