PICO DE GALLO

There are not many things better than fresh pico de gallo to beat the winter blues.  Even with sub-par tomatoes since they are not in season right now - this is still delicious.   It is great to eat with tortilla chips or on fajitas. 

Ingredients

• 5-7 plum tomatoes, seeded, cored and diced
• 1 small red onion, diced
• 1 jalapeno pepper, ribs and seeds removed and diced
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• the juice of 1 lime
• 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
• a handful of fresh cilantro, chopped (approximately 4 tbsp. but I don't measure this)
• 1 tsp. kosher salt

Directions

1. Chop tomatoes, onion, pepper, garlic and cilantro.

2. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and allow flavors to meld for approximately 30 minutes (or overnight) before serving.
