Heirloom Pico de Gallo Recipe

Use an assortment of colorful heirloom tomatoes to make this fresh salsa. Don’t forget to add cilantro from your garden!


Ingredients

  • 1 small clove garlic, grated
  • ½ small white onion, diced
  • 2 cups chopped heirloom tomatoes (use a mix of colors and sizes)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 handful chopped fresh cilantro
  • Juice of ½ lime
  • Optional: a dash of your favorite Mexican hot sauce

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the grated garlic, diced onion, chopped tomatoes, salt, cilantro, and lime juice.
  2. Stir well to combine and adjust seasoning as needed.
  3. For a spicy kick, add a dash of your favorite Mexican hot sauce.

Tip: To prep your tomatoes, cut the cheeks off first—this makes it easy to scoop out seeds and juices with your finger before chopping.
