Easy Vegan Pico de Gallo Recipe
🌱 Easy Vegan Pico de Gallo 🍅
This Easy Vegan Pico de Gallo is fresh, chunky, and ready in 10 minutes. Ripe tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime get chopped and tossed until the jar looks like salsa night. No cooking. No blender. Just a bright topping for tacos, chips, bowls, and everything else on the table.
I love making a few jars at once. It keeps in the fridge, gets juicier as it sits, and tastes better than anything from a plastic tub. 💚

The Secret to Pico That Isn’t Watery
Seed the tomatoes if they’re very juicy. Salt the mixture and let it sit 10 minutes, then pour off extra liquid if you want it extra chunky. A little onion goes a long way — rinse it first if the raw bite is too sharp. Taste after the lime. That’s when it comes alive.
Frequently Asked Questions ❓
How spicy is this? 🌶️
Mild to medium with one jalapeño and the seeds removed. Keep the seeds if you want more heat.
How long does it keep? 🧊
2–3 days in the fridge. It gets juicier overnight, which is great for tacos.
Can I use Roma tomatoes? 🍅
Yes. They’re less watery and hold their shape well in jars.

Notes & Tips 💡
- Add diced cucumber or mango if you want extra crunch or sweetness.
- A pinch of cumin is optional but very good with chips.
- Use this on tacos, nachos, scrambled tofu, or avocado toast.
- If making jars ahead, leave a little headspace — the tomatoes release juice.
