Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I make pico de gallo ahead of time?
While pico de gallo is best served fresh, you can prepare it a few hours ahead of time. Just keep it refrigerated in an airtight container, and give it a good stir before serving.
Can I freeze pico de gallo?
Freezing is not recommended because the texture of the vegetables (especially the tomatoes) can change upon thawing. It's best enjoyed fresh or within a few days.
Can I use other herbs besides cilantro?
While cilantro is traditional, you can experiment with other herbs like parsley or basil if you’re not a fan of cilantro. Just know it will alter the flavor profile.
Enjoy your homemade, fresh pico de gallo! It’s a simple yet vibrant addition to any meal.
