Note

For a milder salsa, remove seeds from the serrano chiles or use jalapeÃÂ±os instead.

This pico de gallo tastes best when allowed to sit for at least 15 minutes before serving, allowing the salt and lime to draw out the juices.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir before serving.

If your tomatoes are very juicy, you may want to drain excess liquid before serving to keep the salsa chunky.
