It's The Happy Hour here at The Slow Roasted Italian! Happy Hump Day!
Here is a fantastic Happy Hour treat to get you through the mid-week blahs!!!
We made this Pico De Gallo for our Mexican Food Party served with the Taco Bar and 7 Layer Mexican Bean Dip it was a fabulous get together. This has to be the best Pico de Gallo I have had!
You really should try it!
Recipe from The Galley Gourmet
Pico de Gallo (makes about 4 cups)
6 large plum tomatoes
1/2 medium white onion, finely diced
1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped
2 jalapeƱos, seeded, and finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2-4 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, more to taste
Core, quarter, and remove the seeds from the tomato. Place the tomato quarters flesh side down on a double thickness of paper towels to drain.
To cut the tomatoes, julienne each quarter, turn, and finely dice. Add the tomatoes to the bowl. Add the onion, cilantro, jalapeƱos, and garlic to the bowl. Toss to combine. Add the salt and lime juice to taste and toss again.
Allow the flavors to develop at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Pico de gallo can be made in one day in advance; covered and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving.
The Pico looks fantastic vibrant and fresh YUM!
ReplyDeleteYou have THE best happy hour! I could eat this on three meals - eggs, sandwiches and salads! Great photos and recipe.
ReplyDeleteThis is perfect for grill or a simple sandwich,have a nice day!!
ReplyDeleteHave to admit that you lost me at cilantro, but it sure does look beautiful! Of course, the chips look pretty darn good to me right now as well. (Are these the ones we can buy locally?) (I'm food obsessed, I think I need to go find some lunch.)

ReplyDeleteThis Pico is FANTASTIC!!! :) Thank you! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your pico recipe. More cilantro is always better!
ReplyDeleteWe do not like cilantro at all. Is there something else we could use in its place?
ReplyDeleteI am thinking that this recipe for Pico de Gallo will work really well mixed with your Guacamole recipe. I am a fan of a chunky Guacamole, thus the idea of mixing the two recipes into one.
