Nothing beats the crisp, tangy taste of homemade Pico de Gallo. This classic Mexican salsa combines juicy tomatoes, sharp onions, spicy jalapeños, and fresh cilantro, all chopped to perfection with the Geedel Pull Chopper. Let’s dive into this quick, crowd-pleasing recipe!
Ingredients
4 medium ripe tomatoes
1 small white onion
1-2 jalapeño peppers (adjust for heat preference)
½ cup fresh cilantro leaves
1 lime (juiced)
½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
¼ teaspoon ground cumin (optional, for extra depth)
Instructions
1. Prep the Ingredients
Rinse tomatoes, onion, jalapeños, and cilantro. Core the tomatoes and remove jalapeño seeds for milder flavor, if desired.
2. Chop with Geedel Pull Chopper
Place the vegetable chopper on a clean countertop—its non-slip base ensures stability on any surface. Add quartered tomatoes to the 2.5-cup (600 ml) chamber and pull the cord 6-10 times for a medium chop, perfect for chunky salsa texture. Repeat with onion, jalapeños, and cilantro, chopping separately for even results.
The 420 stainless steel blade cuts through veggies effortlessly, saving time while keeping your hands safe with the enclosed design.
3. Mix the Salsa
In a large bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, onion, jalapeños, and cilantro. Squeeze in fresh lime juice, add salt, and sprinkle in cumin (if using). Stir gently to blend flavors.
4. Taste and Adjust
Taste your salsa and adjust seasoning—add more lime for zing or salt for balance. For spicier salsa, include extra jalapeño or keep the seeds.
5. Let It Rest
Let the salsa sit for a few minutes to meld flavors. This step enhances the freshness and depth.
6. Serve
Scoop into a bowl and serve with tortilla chips, tacos, grilled meats, or as a topping for scrambled eggs. Garnish with extra cilantro for a pop of color!
Tips and Variations
Tomato Choice: Use firm, ripe tomatoes for the best texture. Roma tomatoes work great for less juice.
Spice Control: Swap jalapeños for serrano peppers for extra heat or use bell peppers for a mild version.
Add Fruit: Mix in diced mango or pineapple (chopped with 1-5 pulls for rough chunks) for a sweet twist.
Make Ahead: Prepare a few hours in advance and refrigerate to deepen flavors.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Stir before serving to refresh.
