Notes
variations & substitutions
If you prefer a spicier salsa, I recommend adding 1 diced habanero pepper or chipotle chilies Don't have red onions? Opt for yellow onions or white onion instead. Can't find roma tomatoes? You can opt for beefsteak or heirloom plum tomatoes Want a sweet and spicy version? Try this mango pico de gallostorage
Your pico de gallo will keep in an airtight container inside the refrigerator for upto 3 days. It is not recommended to freeze this.Nutrition
