Pico de gallo recipe?

I love fresh pico de gallo when I go to places like Salsarita's and Moe's. The fresher the better. However, you can't really get fresh pico in stores. Does anybody make it and has a good recipe for it?

chop up tomato, onion, jalapeno, add salt and lime and CILANTRO to taste.

easy easy

oops, might add garlic and a little oil

NO seeds or membranes from the jalapeno!! Too hot

That sounds about right. The longer it sits in the fridge before you eat it, the better it is since all the flavors merge together. I usually make it in the morning if I want to eat it at night.

I sometimes add a splash of tequila to my pico and guacamole. It gives them a little something extra.

That's pretty much what I do, except I use garlic salt, instead of normal salt.

And let it sit for a couple of hours in the fridge. If it sits too long, it gets kinda 'soggy' and it's not as good.
