Prepare your produce. Wash the roma tomatoes, cilantro, and jalapeño peppers thoroughly. Peel the onion and optional garlic clove.
Dice the roma tomatoes into small, uniform pieces and add them to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Finely dice the white onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Carefully slice the jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and membranes for a milder pico de gallo, or leave some seeds if you want extra spice. Finely mince the jalapeños and add them to the bowl.
Chop the cilantro leaves finely and discard the stems. Measure out half a cup of chopped cilantro and toss it into the mixing bowl.
Juice fresh limes to get three tablespoons of lime juice. Pour the lime juice over the mixture in the bowl.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the bowl, along with 1/4 teaspoon black pepper if desired. If using garlic, finely mince one small clove and stir it into the mixture.
Using a large spoon, gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined.
Taste your pico de gallo and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more lime juice, salt, or cilantro according to your preference.
Let the pico de gallo rest for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
