Directions: |
Directions:Dice half of the tomatoes by hand. Put the other half in a food processor and pulse until finely diced with some juice. (Do not blend or you will have salsa instead.) Put in large bowl.
Pulse each color of bell pepper separately until finely diced. Add each color of bell pepper separately to tomatoes. (If you add them at the same time all of the colors will run together.)
Blend well the onion and garlic cloves and add to Pico.
Put cilantro and chopped and de-seeded jalapeņo into food processor and place lid on top. Press the blend button this time and stream in the lime juice in the opening on top of the food processor to reach the consistency of pesto. Add to the Pico. (If you do not have a lid to stream in lime juice just add it to the cilantro and jalapeņo and blend well with lid on.)
Add the dry Italian seasoning to the Pico and fold all together.
Add the other seasonings to taste. The amount will be different each time because your veggies will vary each time.

Notes: This is best if made the day before serving. Let it sit and marinade overnight in the fridge. This is also really good served with Tostitos Hint of Lime chips or Tostitos Hint of Jalapeņo chips. If you like a chunkier Pico, cut everything by hand.
