Fresh Pico de Gallo Recipe in Just 15 Minutes
This Fresh Pico de Gallo Recipe comes together in 15 minutes with ripe tomatoes, white onion, green bell pepper, parsley, and a hard squeeze of lime. No cooking, no blender, just a sharp knife, a cutting board, and a few minutes of prep between you and the best salsa on the table.
Ingredients
- 4 medium-large vine tomatoes, diced
- ½ cup white onion, finely diced
- ¼ cup green bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 bunch parsley, finely chopped
- ½ lime, juiced
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Combine everything - Add the diced tomatoes, onion, green bell pepper, parsley, fresh lime juice, and salt to a large mixing bowl.
- Toss gently - Using a spoon, gently toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the lime juice and salt. Be careful not to overmix, as the tomatoes can become too soft. Then taste. Add more lime or salt if needed until the flavor is bright and balanced.
- Let the flavors develop - For the best flavor, let the pico de gallo rest for about 15 to 20 minutes before serving. This gives the tomatoes time to release some of their juices while the lime juice and herbs blend beautifully with the vegetables.Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
