Pico de Gallo (Fresh Salsa)
Description
Pico de Gallo (Fresh Salsa) combines seeded diced tomatoes, chopped white onion, diced jalapeño, and fresh cilantro. The lime juice adds acidity while kosher salt enhances the overall flavors. The ingredients are mixed together to create a fresh, chunky salsa with a lively balance of tang and mild heat from the jalapeño.
The texture blends juicy tomato pieces with the crunch of onions and the herbal lift from cilantro. It is served fresh as a condiment or appetizer, adding brightness to tacos, grilled meats, or any Mexican meal.
Adjusting the salt and jalapeño level to taste after mixing makes it easy to customize the spiciness and seasoning. The simplicity of the ingredient list highlights the fresh, raw produce and citrus.
