Ingredients
- 1 small red onion, minced
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 lime, zest and juice
- Salt, to taste
- 4 Vine-Ripe tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
How it’s Done
To Make the 5 Minute Oil-Free Pico de Gallo: In a small bowl, combine the red onion, jalapeno, cumin, lime zest and juice, and salt. Let sit while you prepare the other ingredients, just for a 1 minute or 2.
For the tomatoes, use a paring knife to hull out the spot where the stem attaches. Dice the tomatoes. Add the tomato and cilantro to the bowl with the red onion mixture. Stir to combine. Taste to adjust seasoning
Serve chilled or at room temp.
Yield: about 3 cups
Chef Katie’s Tips:
Spice Level: If you prefer more spice, keep the seeds in the jalapeno. For less spice, omit the jalapeno
Tomato Variety: Use a colorful mix of tomatoes (yellow, purple, and green) for an elegant presentation.
