In a medium bowl, add tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lemon juice, and lime juice, and salt to taste. Stir to combine.
Tomatoes: This salsa tastes best when made with fresh, ripe tomatoes. In a pinch, substitute 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes.
Cilantro: If you hate cilantro, leave it out or substitute parsley.
Jalapeños: For a spicier salsa, substitute serrano chiles. For the mildest salsa, substitute green bell peppers.
Yield: This recipe makes about 2 cups of salsa.
Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Make ahead: This salsa can be made a day ahead, and the flavors get better if it has a chance to sit that long.
Per Mexico: In Aguascalientes, Mexico they add 1/8 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano to Pico de Gallo.
Tuna on toast: I love to mix this tomato salsa with a batch of tuna salad and make a sandwich. So great!
Omelet: Add leftover salsa and a dollop of sour cream to your next omelet .
Beans and rice: Dress up a bowl of black beans and Mexican rice .
