Homemade Pico de Gallo

Pico de Gallo isn’t just good with chips, it’s also the perfect way to add flavour to salad without adding calories.

Pico de Gallo is great because you can get most of the ingredients fresh at a farmer’s market, you can customize it based on what you like, and you can use it on so many foods!

It’s a great low calorie dip for chips, you can toss it on some eggs for a protein packed breakfast, or even use it instead of salad dressing with lunch!

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 pounds Roma tomatoes, diced
• 1 medium white onion, finely chopped

• Juice of one small lime
• 1/4 tsp lime zest

Instructions:

1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl.
