Easy Peasy Salsa Fresca (Pico de Gallo)

Pico de Gallo, AKA Salsa Fresca is made using fresh tomatoes, onions, coriander and lime...and usually chilli too, but I have missed the chillies out for this easy peasy, family friendly version. Serve with all your Mexican favourites, but especially good on my Mexican Pulled Pork Tacos!

Notes

  • In my version of Salsa Fresca I don’t use chillies, but if you like your salsa a little hotter try using ½ - 1 fresh chilli (e.g. serrano, jalapeño or habanero), deseeded and diced finely.
