PICO DE GALLO
MAJOR KEY: Pico de gallo is such a fresh and delicious salsa. You can add a number of little twists to make it even more special. Sometimes I add a stone fruit like peach or plum. Or I add a savory deep flavor like sun dried tomatoes. Whatever you experiment around with adding, use about a 1/2 cup of it for this recipe. Adjust and tweak it from there.
STUFF YOU MAY NOT HAVE: Microplane
INGREDIENTS
4 vine-ripe tomatoes, chopped
1/2 medium red onion, chopped
2 green onions, white and green parts, sliced
1 Serrano chile, minced (obviously omit if you don't like heat. Add more if you want to ramp it up)
1 handful fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 lime, zest and juiced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tsps Tastic spice*
DIRECTIONS
- In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients together. Toss thoroughly. Let it sit for 15 minutes to an hour to allow the flavors to get to know each other :)
NOTE: If you want it smoother, put it in a food processor for a few pulses.
