I’ve said this before and I will say it again. Food is so naturally beautiful!

I have been wanting to make pico de gallo ever since I saw Ree Drummond the Pioneer Woman make it on her Food Network TV show.

The recipe could not be more simple. Equal parts tomato, red onion, cilantro, and one lime and salt.

Chop and dice them all up into pieces.

Place in a bowl and squeeze out all of the lime juice! If you use your palm and roll the lime around flat on a table, it helps you get more juice out of it.

Toss it around and season with salt! And that’s it! If we’re lucky, this will last us…maybe two days? I already know I have to make more after I finish this post.

Pico de Gallo

recipe by Ree Drummond, Food Network

4 firm roma tomatoes, diced

1 red onion, diced

1 bunch cilantro, chopped (how fine or rough you want it chopped is up to you)

1 lime

salt to season

Place the chopped tomatoes, onion, and cilantro into a bowl. Squeeze out the juice of 1 lime. Toss and season with salt to taste. Enjoy with tortilla chips, with quesadillas, or as a side for chicken, lamb, or steak!
