  • 1 juicy lime
  • salt

Instructions

Notes

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions:
  • Heirloom Tomatoes: Heirloom tomatoes come in a variety of different colors and shapes. Look for ones that are blemish-free and soft to the touch but still a bit firm. If you can't find heirlooms (they're only available seasonally) you can use regular tomatoes like Romas. 
  • Jalapeño: Jalapeños vary greatly in spice levels. If you happen to get a really spicy one you can tone down the heat by rinsing the sliced pepper under cold water and discarding seeds as well as the white inner veins or "pith".
Storing:
  • Heirloom Tomato Pico De Gallo will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to three days. Store in a container with a tight-fitting lid.
