Pico de Gallo

This is a staple in our refrigerator.  We love it!  It is so easy to make.

Pico de Gallo
7-8 roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 medium white onion, chopped
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
1/2 lime, juiced
6-7 slices jalepeno pepper (I keep a jar in my refrigerator of jalepeno slices), finely minced
1 Tbsp. minced garlic
1 tsp. salt

  Remove all of the seeds and soft insides of the tomatoes and discard.  You only want the outer flesh for pico.  Mix all of the ingredients together and chill for at least an hour before serving.  If you want to make a quick and easy salsa you can take this pico and add 1/2 cup of V8 tomato juice and another tsp. of salt.  Mix well and then remove about 2/3 cup of the mix and blend it in a blender.  Add it back to the bowl, stir and you have a restaurant style salsa.
