The real trick to making the perfect pico de gallo is in the tomatoes. You will not get good pico without good tomatoes. I like to choose tomatoes that are firm and ripe – not overripe or they will be too soft. When preparing your tomatoes you must seed them to cut down on the liquid. Here’s a great link to show you how. Basically, I sliced them in half along the equator and squeezed them over a bowl. Easy peasy! Alternately some folks like to dice them, salt them and let them drain over a fine mesh sieve. Pick you favorite and get to it.
