Xanthan Gum Free Pico de Gallo
Fresh, vibrant, and built entirely from whole ingredients, this pico de gallo is the kind of condiment that makes everything it touches taste better. Ripe Roma tomatoes are seeded before dicing, which keeps the final mixture from turning watery and ensures every bite has clean, concentrated tomato flavor. A hit of fresh lime juice and a generous pinch of kosher salt pull the whole thing together in minutes. For anyone navigating thickener sensitivities, store-bought salsas can be a minefield — many contain stabilizers and additives that have no business being in something this simple. Here, every single ingredient is exactly what it looks like: produce, citrus, and salt. A short rest at room temperature lets the flavors meld and deepen before you even pick up a chip. Spoon it over tacos, stir it into scrambled eggs, or just eat it straight — it's that good.
