This is classic, unadulterated pico de gallo. Be sure that all vegetables are finely chopped, and use white or red onion, beause sweet, yellow onion detracts from the taste of the salsa. If you want a hotter salsa, switch to thinly sliced serranos. Store in a sealed, refrigerated container for no more than a week.
