“I use AppHarvest’s produce to continually reinvent seasonal dishes that deliver a creative twist on the classics. It seems crazy to have fresh tomatoes in the winter, but AppHarvest gives me an opportunity to use local, fresh tomatoes year-round at my restaurants, Corto Lima and ItalX.”

Ingredients

16 oz tomatoes (Roma or on the vine preferred)
5 oz jalapeños, seeds removed
8 oz red onions
1/2 tbsp kosher salt
2 oz lime juice
1 handful cilantro
1 handful scallions

Directions

Step 1

Dice tomatoes, jalapeños and red onions. Mix together to incorporate. Add lime juice and salt. Let it soak in the liquids for 10 minutes.

Step 2

While soaking, chop cilantro and scallions. Drain off liquids from the pico, top with or mix in cilantro and scallions, then serve.
