Pico de Gallo For One
This single serving pico de gallo is a fresh, chunky salsa made with ripe tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, lime juice, and avocado, ready in 10 minutes and perfectly portioned for one.
Servings: 1 serving
Ingredients
- ¼ cup finely chopped onions
- ½ teaspoon lime juice
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt (optional)
- ⅓ cup diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped jalapeños
- ½ small avocado -chopped
Instructions
- Place the chopped onion in a small bowl. Add the lime juice and salt, if using, and stir.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, jalapeño, and avocado. Gently stir to mix.
- Taste and add more salt if needed.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to eat.
Notes
- Use Firm, Ripe Tomatoes: Soft tomatoes release too much liquid and can make the pico watery. Roma tomatoes work best because they are firm and less seedy.
- Chop Evenly: Cut the tomatoes, onion, and jalapeño into small, similar-sized pieces for the best texture and balanced flavor in every bite.
- Control the Heat: Remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeño for less spice. Leave them in if you prefer more heat.
- Let It Rest Briefly: Let the pico sit for 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend.
- Serve Fresh: Pico de gallo is best the day it’s made. The longer it sits, the more liquid the tomatoes release.
