Salsa Bandera (Pico De Gallo)
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.

Ingredients
- 2 jalapeño peppers medium size
- 2 tomato medium
- ¼ white onion
- 2 tablespoon cilantro chopped
- 2-3 tablespoon white distilled vinegar or ½ lime
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
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.
