This easy Pico de Gallo Salsa is healthy & packed with flavor - filled with yummy tomatoes, cilantro, lime and just the right amount of spice. Use it for tacos, fish, or for tortilla chips - either way, it's delicious!!

Ingredients

2 large tomatoes (firm, not over-ripe)
1 small red onion
1 red serrano pepper
1 lime
10 g cilantro
0.5 tsp oregano
2 dashes cumin
salt and fresh ground black pepper (to taste)

Steps

Chop the tomatoes and red onion into small pieces. Place in a bowl with room for mixing.

Remove the seeds from the chili and chop it. Include as many seeds as you like, for your desired spice level. Set the rest of the seeds aside in case you wish to add more spice. Add to the bowl.

Chop the cilantro and add to the bowl. Squeeze over the lime juice and season with oregano and cumin. Taste test, adjust seasoning if needed and season with salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste.

Set aside for 30 minutes or longer. Just before serving, taste test again and adjust seasoning accordingly. Serve with chips, tacos, as a sauce for fish or meat or use to top a salad.
