Kathy's Pico de Gallo

Ingredients

2 large tomatoes, diced
1 onion, diced fine
1 roasted poblano pepper or jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced fine
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup cilantro leaves, chopped
Juice of 2 limes
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper

Directions

Combine ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Note: To roast a pepper: cut the pepper in half. Remove seeds and veins. Place the pepper cavities face-down on a baking sheet and put under the broiler until skin blackens and bubbles. Remove from oven. Place pepper in plastic bag or cover. In a few minutes the skin on pepper should be easy to remove.

Serves: 8; Serving size: 1/2 cup

Variations

Add anything you can dream of to this basic salsa and enjoy! (Black beans, avocado, jicama, corn, etc.)
