Salsa Pico de Gallo

Best enjoyed fresh. Flavor diminishes significantly after 2 days in the refrigerator.

For best flavor, let the pico de gallo sit for at least 15-30 minutes after mixing to allow the flavors to meld.

Adjust the amount of jalapeño to control the spice level. Remove the seeds and membranes for less heat.

Finely dice the ingredients for a more uniform texture, or leave them chunkier for a rustic feel.

Nachos

Quesadillas

Grilled chicken or fish

Using mushy or overripe tomatoes, which can make the salsa watery.

Omitting the lime juice, which is crucial for brightness and preservation.

Pre-salting the tomatoes too far in advance, as this can draw out too much liquid and make the salsa soggy.
