Pico de Gallo-Fresh Salsa
Pico de gallo is one of my favorite toppings. It’s perfect as a snack with tortilla chips, topping tacos, and mixed into scrambled eggs.
I love how fast this fresh salsa comes together. No boiling, no waiting, it’s almost as fast as opening a jar of store bought salsa, but it is a billion times tastier. Trust me-one billion times.
All you need to do is combine tomatoes, red onion, jalapeno, cilantro, and lime juice. All chopped, combine, and toss and your fresh tasty pico de gallo is ready to go!
Pico de gallo is more about ratios than exact amounts. And though you can adjust the amounts of each, I would leave them pretty close to what I have listed. Its the combination of the ingredients that make it pico de gallo and not tomatoes with some stuff mixed in.
