Ingredients

  • Juice from 1 lime
  • 1/3 bunch cilantro chopped
  • 1 med onion chopped small (more to your taste)
  • 2 stalks celery chopped into small pieces
  • 2-4 jalapeños chopped
  • 3-4 bell peppers chopped – all different colors look prettiest
  • 12 assorted tomatoes chopped small – or however many you have
  • 2-3 cloves fresh garlic chopped small
  • About 1/2 teaspoon sea salt add more to your taste
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon Palm sugar
  • More ingredients to try I love them all: few shakes of cumin, fresh chopped parsley, grilled corn on the cob, black beans
  • Avocado would be yummy but I'm not sure if the lime in the recipe would be enough to keep it from turning brown. Does anyone know?

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a medium sized bowl and toss together.  Enjoy.
  • For a faster version, just clean all of the ingredients and toss them into a food processor until it's as chunky as you like it.  :)

Notes

Note:  a traditional pico de gallo recipe usually has tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lime, garlic, cumin, sea salt & pepper.  :)
