    You really don't need store-bought salsa anymore because it's so easy to make your own and so much healthier and tastier. I mean, I would pick freshly chopped ingredients over rehydrated vegetables (yes, that is actually a common ingredient in store-bought salsa!). Plus, if you are like me, then you know that somehow it's hard to finish store-bought salsa before it expires.

    How to Make Pico de Gallo Chunky Salsa

    Pico de gallo is a type of salsa made using fresh chopped ingredients. For this recipe, you only need 5 easy ingredients.

    • tomatoes
    • onion
    • cilantro
    • lime juice
    • salt
    • jalapeño pepper - optional, if you want to spice it up

    To make the salsa, all you do is combine the ingredients together into a food processor (or you could manually finely dice the ingredients) and you've got yourself a bowl of fresh pico de gallo salsa. I told you it was easy!

    Pair this salsa with a plate of tortilla chips and dip away. You can also use this on top of baked nachos, tacos, or as a spread in a burrito. It goes with pretty much any Mexican-inspired meal that you can think of.

    Description

    Easy 5-minute pico de gallo chunky salsa is packed with fresh tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and lime juice (and optional jalapeños for a spicy kick).


    Ingredients

    • 2 medium tomatoes, roughly chopped
    • ¼ medium onion, roughly chopped
    • ¼ bunch cilantro, roughly chopped
    • juice of 1 lime
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 3 slices jalapeño pepper (optional)

    Instructions

    1. Combine all ingredients together in a food processor and pulse until desired consistency is reached (I like to keep the salsa chunky).
    2. For a spicy salsa, add jalapeño peppers. To keep the salsa mild, omit the jalapeño peppers.

      A neighbor brought over a whole bunch of late season tomatoes that she picked from her garden and THIS is what I did with them. It was absolutely delicious. My husband and I ate so much of it we didn't need dinner. 🙂 Thanks for a great, simple recipe.

      This salsa is so much better than the store-bought one! So fresh and easy to make and we like that little kick from the jalapeno. Bring on the tortilla chips!

      Just FYI, this is pico de gallo, not salsa (though still a perfectly good recipe for pico)
