Pico de Gallo

This recipe is courtesy of my mom’s kitchen. Good for a Cinco de Mayo fiesta!

Ingredients:

• 1-1/2 pounds plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped

• 3/4 cup chopped onion

• 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

• 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

• 3 tablespoons minced and seeded serrano or jalapeno chilies (about two medium)

• 1 teaspoon sugar

• Two garlic cloves, minced

Directions:

1.   Put all ingredients in a medium bowl.

2.   Combine.

3.   Cover and refrigerate for at least thirty minutes prior to serving. This allows time for the flavors to blend.

4.   Serve in a bowl for guests to enjoy with chips, on a taco, or whatever their pleasure.

Makes three cups.
