What Can I Use If I Have No Lime Or Cilantro For Pico De Gallo

Picture this: You’ve got a bowl of gorgeous, ruby-red diced tomatoes. The onion is chopped, so finely it’s practically translucent. The jalapeño is ready to bring the heat. You are mere moments away from scooping up fresh, vibrant pico de gallo with a salty tortilla chip. You reach into the fridge for the two final, crucial ingredients and… your heart sinks. There’s no lime. And the cilantro you thought you had is nowhere to be found.
