Salsa Bandera (Pico De Gallo)

Iris Warren

Report

Fresh and spicy Salsa Bandera, also known as pico de gallo, is a classic Mexican salsa. It is a great addition to any Mexican dish, uses only natural, nutritious ingredients and is ready in less than 10 minutes. Use tangy vinegar for a different twist on an old favorite.

Instructions

Medium dice the jalapeños, tomatoes and onion and add to a bowl.
Add the chopped cilantro.
Add the vinegar.
Mix all the ingredients together.
Taste and add more salt or vinegar if needed.
Serve immediately or let sit for 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together for an even better taste.
Serve as a salsa atop of tacos, salads or any cut of meat. It can also be served as a side dish or as a dip with chips.

Notes

You can substitute the vinegar with lime juice. However, my mom taught me to use white vinegar instead of lime. Vinegar adds a tangy acidity that really brightens up the flavors of the salsa.
For extra spice, add one serrano pepper or substitute all the jalapeños with serranos.
For a mild salsa, use gloves to remove the seeds and veins from the jalapeños or use less jalapeños and more tomatoes.
