I am a 20-something-year old professional, living and working in the suburbs of Chicago.

Here’s how I make pico de gallo.

Sidenote: all measurements are approximate and can be changed. If you really like onion, add a little more onion. If you don’t like cilantro, leave it out. Just keep adjusting the amounts it until you get the ratios to your liking.

Gather the following items:

  • Three to 5 medium tomatoes
  • One small or medium onion
  • Two to 3 jalapeños
  • A handful of fresh cilantro

Chop the tomatoes. Chop the onion. Chop the jalapeños, taking care to remove most of the seeds. Chop the cilantro.

Throw it all in a bowl. Add a dash of salt and some lime juice. Then mix it up.

Cover the bowl and let it rest in the fridge for a few hours.

Then eat all of it.
