Pico de Gallo (Pioneer Woman)

Hello all! My name is Amanda, and I'm a new contributor to Just Enough Light and new to the blog world in general. A few things about me... just so I don't feel like we're strangers ...

I'm married to a wonderful man who loves God.

I have an outstanding mother-in-law who organized this exciting tour of Pioneer Woman's cookbook.

I'm also in medical school, and I enjoy everything about it except that we don't get snow days. :)

I also love cooking and eating good food.

This week I made a deliciously simple Pico de Gallo.

In typical PW fashion, we have the cast of characters:

Roma tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime and salt

(By the way, the recipe in the cookbook doesn't include amounts or numbers, so I kinda estimated.)

I sliced up the onion and tomatoes. I took the seeds and squishy stuff out of the tomatoes. It's just less messy that way.

I need to improve my herb-chopping skills. I always end up with bigger bits than I want. Perhaps this will be a job for my new food processor.

Yummy cilantro!

Jalapeños are great to cook with until you accidentally touch your eyes. Ouch!

Stress relief after getting jalapeño in my eye. Also, I love the smell of limes. So fresh and wonderful.

The finished product. Perfect addition to tacos ... or eaten by the spoonful. :)
I would like to thank my husband for photographing this and future food posts. He did a great job considering the terrible fluorescent lighting in our apartment.
