Pico De Gallo (authentic)

3 large tomatoes

⅓ cup cilantro/coriander leaves (, roughly chopped)

¼ cup finely chopped white onion ((Note 1))

1 ½ tbsp finely chopped jalapeño or serrano chilli ((adjust to taste))

2 tbsp lime juice ((adjust to taste))

½ tsp salt ((table salt) or ¾ tsp kosher / sea salt flakes)

Cut the tomatoes in half and use a teaspoon to scoop out the seeds and watery centre. Cut into 1cm / ⅓" dice.
Combine with remaining ingredients. Set aside for 5 to 20 minutes. Serve as a topping or side for things like tacos, burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas and any Mexican dish!
This can be made ahead up to 1 day. Leave out the lime juice and salt (otherwise the tomato juices will leech out), cover and refrigerate. Drain excess liquid, add lime juice and salt just before serving.
