For a sweeter Pico de Gallo, consider using Roma tomatoes. They have a naturally sweeter flavor.
If you prefer a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño pepper before chopping.
Freshly squeezed lime juice (about 1 tablespoon) can be added just before serving for an extra zing.
Pico de Gallo is best served fresh. It can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but the texture may soften over time.
