Notes
Prioritize Freshness: The key to a vibrant Pico de Gallo is using the freshest vegetables available. Fresh ingredients ensure the brightest flavors and crispest textures, elevating the overall quality of the dish.Control the Heat: If you prefer a medium level of spiciness, carefully remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeño. Slice off the stem, cut the pepper in half lengthwise, and use a spoon or paring knife to scoop out the seeds and ribs. This step significantly reduces the heat while retaining the pepper's flavor.Customize to Taste: Feel free to adjust the quantities of each ingredient to match your personal preferences. Use the recipe as a starting point and experiment with different amounts to find your ideal balance of flavors.Serve Fresh: To enjoy the Pico de Gallo at its best, serve it immediately after preparation. Over time, the salt draws out moisture from the tomatoes, which can lead to a more watery salsa and a slight dilution of flavors. Fresh serving ensures the salsa remains flavorful and vibrant.
