Start by washing and dicing the ripe tomatoes into small cubes, placing them in a strainer over a bowl, and sprinkling with kosher salt. Let rest for 20-30 minutes.
While the tomatoes are draining, finely chop the white onion and serrano or jalapeño chiles. Adjust quantity based on desired spice level.
After draining, transfer the tomatoes to a mixing bowl. Add the chopped onions, chiles, cilantro, and squeeze lime juice over the mixture.
Gently toss all ingredients together to ensure even coating with lime juice and spices. Adjust salt or lime juice to taste.
Let the mixture sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
After resting, give the Pico de Gallo a final stir and serve as a dip, topping for tacos, or with grilled meats.
