4) Let your pico rest for 15 minutes before serving.
This step gives the flavors time to mingle and bring out their best. While the tomatoes and the rest of the ingredients rest, the salt removes the moisture from the ingredients and thickens their flavor.
Taste your pico de gallo before and after marinating and you'll see what I mean! If you are not serving the pico de gallo immediately, you can refrigerate it for several hours or even overnight.
5) Serve with a slotted spoon.
Tomatoes release a lot of moisture, so some tomato juice will collect at the bottom of your bowl. The easiest solution is to serve your pico de gallo with a slotted spoon or large serving fork.
This way you won't transfer a lot of moisture with your Pico. Say no to soggy nachos!
