Pico de Gallo

Here is a great way to liven up your low fat burgers and chicken breasts, fish or even shrimp - It is fresh and tasty!

2 medium tomatoes, mine weighed 4.5 oz each, about two cups
½ a large onion, 4oz, about ¾ c
1 jalapeno pepper, 1 oz, seeds removed
1 medium lime, mine was about 4.5oz
½ bunch of cilantro (1 cup when chopped)

Dice the tomatoes, onion and jalapeno into small cubes. Chop the cilantro. Place in a medium bowl. Roll the lime around while pressing down on it, then cut in half and squeeze the juice into the bowl with the other ingredients.

This made about 3 cups.

It is even better if you cover it and let it meld together in the fridge overnight!

You can top just about anything with it, try it on burgers!
