My fresh and flavorful pico de gallo recipe couldn’t be easier to make if I tried. You simply toss together roma tomatoes with red onion, minced jalapeño, fresh garlic, cilantro and lime juice.

Season to taste with salt and pepper and you’ll quickly find yourself unable to stop after just one bite.

Fortunately, at just 14 calories per quarter cup serving, you don’t have to stop any time soon. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips and you’re ready to roll.

No forks required.
