Pico de Gallo, otherwise know as salsa fresca, is a wonderful condiment full of bright and vibrant ingredients. It is not cooked, unlike its sibling, salsa. And so it retains a wonderful fresh taste – hence the name ‘fresh sauce’.
Pico de Gallo is easily prepared and takes just about 5 minutes! It’s perfect on chips, tacos, mixed into guacamole, on top of fresh fish, or on an omelet. The possibilities are seemingly endless!

It’s like you were in my kitchen on Sat night – just when you were posting this, I was MAKING this. Seriously. I kid you not. I’ll get my friend who was here to confirm it!!
Lol! I’m starting to think we really do have a common long-lost relative – some kind of common link! 😉
This one of my favorite condiments! So good I’d gladly just eat it with a spoon!
Mine too! I’ve been know to just eat a bowl of this, like a salad 🙂
