Dice the tomatoes small, tipping out any watery seeds and juice as you go so the salsa doesn't turn soupy.
💡 A dry dice keeps every piece distinct instead of drowning them in tomato water.
Combine the tomato, onion, jalapeño and cilantro in a bowl.
Add the lime juice and a good pinch of salt, and stir gently to combine.
Let it sit at least 10 minutes before serving so the flavors come together.
Taste and adjust the salt or lime, then serve the same day for the best crunch.
Pico de gallo — also called salsa mexicana or salsa fresca — is salsa in its rawest, fastest form, diced rather than blended and eaten within hours of being made. Its name is debated: some trace it to the way it was once pinched up between thumb and forefinger, others to its resemblance to a rooster's bright comb.
