EDITOR’S NOTE (November 15, 2019):  Added two new photos.  Edited text for clarity.

Pico de gallo  [ˈpiko ðe ˈɣaʎo] is a fancy name for Mexican salsa.  This colorful appetizer contains chopped tomato, onion,  fresh cilantro, lime juice, and salt.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Serranos and  jalapeños are optional ingredients.  Traditional salsa has a thinner consistency with more liquid.  Pico de gallo is chunky with each chopped ingredient clearly visible.    Pairs well with corn chips, crackers and potato chips.

Enjoy!
