Pico De Gallo

"Pico de Gallo" - a salsa/salad that shouts freshness in itself. It has a slurp tangy flavor to it which makes it irresistible and leaves me wanting it more and more! It needs just a handful of ingredients and is very easy to put it together.


Ingredients:

  • 2 Medium Red Onions - Diced small
  • 4 Medium Tomatoes (try to use the ones that are ripe red in color - they are juicier and makes the salsa look vibrant!) - Diced small
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Jalapeño - Finely chopped (if you don't have jalapeño, any other green chillies would do - wouldn't be as authentic but it is an ok substitution and there isn't a noticeable taste difference in-my-opinion i.e.)
  • 3 tbsp Cilantro/Coriander/Dhaniya - Finely Chopped
  • 3 tbsp Lime Juice
  • Salt & Pepper - to taste

Method:

  • Mix together onions, tomatoes, jalapeño; season with salt and pepper.
  • Add lime juice and mix well.
  • Finally, add cilantro and mix well.
  • Enjoy!!

Serving Suggestions:

Pice de Gallo can be served as a side dish to any Mexican preparation e.g. burrito/enchilada/taco etc. 
It can also be served with traditional chips or the baked version.
