Notes
*Nutritional facts provided are only an estimate, accuracy is not guaranteed.
- The dip may be watery depending on the types of tomatoes used. Roma has less water content so are best for pico de gallo. The salt will draw out water from the tomatoes and onions, so when it sits too long, water will accumulate in the bowl. You can easily drain this before serving.
- Removing the seeds and membranes of the jalapeno will give the salsa a milder taste.
- Homemade pico is best eaten immediately, but will last for up to two days covered in the fridge.
