Fresh Pico De Gallo Salsa

This salsa is wonderful as a dip with tortilla chips, on tacos or on a salad. It’s raw, light and refreshing with a little kick from the jalapeño. Tip: After I made the salsa, I put some in a mason jar and brought it as a little hostess gift for a party. Just an idea 🙂

What You’ll Need:

• 8 organic roma tomatoes
• 1/2 – 1 large red onion (if you love onion, use the whole thing)
• 1/4- 1/2 cup loosely packed cilantro
• 1 large jalapeno pepper (remove seeds to cut down spice)
• 2 limes
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• A few dashes of black pepper

To Make:

Chop and dice tomatoes, red onion and jalapeno, put them in a large mixing bowl. Lightly rinse and pat dry cilantro. Remove leaves from stems and measure out 1/4- 1/2 cup loosely-packed (if you love cilantro, use 1/2). Add to mixing bowl.

Cut limes in half and squeeze juice over the mixing bowl. Top with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp garlic powder and a few dashes of black pepper. Mix together ingredients with a large spoon. Enjoy!
