Yellow or red onions
Roma tomatoes (slightly underripe is fine)
Cilantro
Jalapeņos
Lime
Salt

Directions:
Directions:
Dice up onions very fine. Next, dice up amount of tomatoes equal to quantity of the onions. Grab a bunch of cilantro equal to the tomatoes and chop up finely. Slice a jalapeņo in half, scrape out seeds and white membrane with a spoon. Dice the jalapeņo very finely and then dump the four ingredients into a bowl.

The secret to perfect pico is equal amounts of onions, tomato and cilantro.

Slice a lime in half and squeeze the juice from half the lime into a bowl.

Sprinkle with salt, and stir until combined. Taste the pico and adjust the seasonings adding more salt if needed. (if you taste with chips you can factor the salt quality better.)

This only keeps about 24 hours in the refrigerator. After that it turns soupy, so make it near the time you plan to eat it.
