Pico de Gallo
Description
Pico de Gallo features diced tomatoes, onions, fresh cilantro, and jalapeño pepper combined with lime juice and salt to create a fresh, vibrant salsa. The ingredients maintain their crisp textures, offering a fresh crunch with a bright citrus tang and moderate heat from the jalapeño. The preparation requires no cooking, preserving the natural flavors and freshness of each component.
This salsa pairs well with Mexican dishes, eggs, avocado toast, grilled chicken, or as a dip with chips. Its refreshing quality cuts through rich or spicy foods and adds a zesty finish.
Make-ahead storage in the refrigerator allows the flavors to meld for an hour or two. Variations include adjusting jalapeño seeds for spiciness, mixing in diced avocado for creaminess, or adding mango for sweetness.
