Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables and Herbs
- 1 cup fresh cucumbers, chopped into small pieces
- 1 cup ripe tomatoes, diced
- 1/2 cup finely diced red or white onions
- 1 jalapeño pepper, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Dressing and Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (natural), or to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper (natural), or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare Your Fresh Ingredients: Wash all fresh produce thoroughly. Finely chop the cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, and fresh cilantro into small, even pieces to create a vibrant and cohesive salsa.
- Mix the Veggies: In a large bowl, gently combine all chopped vegetables and herbs to marry their flavors while maintaining a crisp texture.
- Add the Tangy Dressing: Pour in the apple cider vinegar (natural), sprinkle with salt and pepper, and add the natural gelling agent. Stir well to ensure the flavors blend and the mixture holds slightly without losing freshness.
- Let It Rest: Allow the Pickle de Gallo to sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes to enable flavors to meld and develop enhanced tanginess and texture.
- Final Taste and Adjust: Give the mixture a final stir and taste. Adjust seasoning by adding more salt, pepper, or jalapeño if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later use.
Notes
- Use the freshest cucumbers and tomatoes for the best flavor.
- Avoid over-chopping to maintain a satisfying crunch.
- Chill before serving to enhance the refreshing profile.
- Add jalapeños gradually to control spice intensity.
- Use the natural gelling agent sparingly to keep freshness and texture light.
