I am totally obsessed with my dad's pico de gallo. He makes it all the time when I go home to visit in the summer to use up the tomatoes he plants in his yard. I had yet to make it myself but since joining a produce co-op I have had so many tomatoes that I was trying to think of other ways to use them. Thus I have been making this all the time. The chopping is not my favorite but after making it more often, I have gotten much quicker. I eat the entire batch myself - I swear! I hate sharing it but I will definitely share the recipe with you so you can make it yourself.
Dad's Pico
5 roma (or any other) tomatoes, seeded, small dice
1 small yellow or white onion or 1/2 a large one, small dice
1 jalepeno chile, seeds and membrane removed, ultra small dice
1-2 cups cilantro, roughly chopped (I like tons but you can add what you like)
2 tsp. salt (start with this and add more if you need to)
3 tbsp. sugar
1/2 cup white vinegar
Combine diced vegetables in a bowl; sprinkle with salt and sugar. Stir in vinegar and stir until sugar and salt dissolve. Taste and adjust as needed. Serve with tortilla chips. Tostitos Bite Size Rounds or Scoops are my personal fave.
