Seed Oil Free Pico de Gallo
Fresh, vibrant, and completely unprocessed, this classic pico de gallo is everything a great salsa should be — bright with lime, punchy from jalapeño, and loaded with ripe Roma tomatoes. Store-bought salsas are notorious for sneaking in refined vegetable or seed oils as preservatives or texture enhancers, so making your own from scratch is the only way to know exactly what's in the bowl. Every single ingredient here is whole and clean: fresh tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, and salt — nothing more, nothing less. Seeding the tomatoes before dicing keeps the texture perfectly chunky rather than watery, and that short 10-minute rest lets all the flavors meld into something that tastes like it took way more effort than it did. It's the kind of condiment that makes chips disappear fast, but it's equally at home spooned over grilled chicken, eggs, or tacos. Simple, honest, and genuinely hard to stop eating.
