Chef's Notes
Do not fear the heat of the chilli, my friends, but do respect it! If you prefer a milder salsa, simply scrape away the white ribs and seeds of your jalapeño or serrano before chopping, as that is where the fiercest dragon hides.
Pro Tip
Always use a sharp chef's knife when dicing tomatoes; a dull blade will crush the flesh rather than slice it, turning your pristine cubes into a sad, watery puree.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you dare to leave the tomato seeds and watery pulp in the bowl, you are not making pico de gallo; you are accidentally engineering a tragic, soggy tomato soup that will make our ancestors weep and your tortilla chips drown a miserable death.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
The Jester wonders if the rooster is offended that his beak is being compared to chopped tomatoes and onions.
The Culinary Science
Salting raw tomatoes draws out excess cellular water via osmosis just before serving, concentrating the natural glutamates and sugars inside the fruit for an intensely savory flavor explosion.
