Pico de Gallo
Pico de Gallo, also known as salsa fresca, originates from Mexico and is a traditional fresh salsa. Its name translates to "rooster's beak" in Spanish, possibly referencing the small, chopped ingredients that resemble bird food. This salsa is beloved for its simplicity and bright flavors, typically made with diced tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, cilantro, lime juice, and seasonings. Pico de Gallo is versatile and enhances a wide range of dishes with its tangy and crisp profile, serving as a popular condiment for tacos, nachos, grilled meats, and more.

Tip and Trick
Pico de Gallo is a versatile salsa that can elevate your dishes with its fresh and tangy flavors. Here are some tips and tricks to make the most out of your Pico de Gallo:
Choose Ripe Tomatoes: Select ripe, firm tomatoes for the best texture and flavor.
Adjust Heat Level: Control the spiciness by adjusting the amount of jalapeño peppers used. Remember, seeds add more heat.

Add Creaminess: Mix in diced avocado just before serving to add creaminess and depth of flavor.
Versatility: Use Pico de Gallo as a topping or filling for various dishes, including scrambled eggs, burritos, or even as a garnish for soups.
Garnish: Sprinkle extra cilantro leaves on top for added freshness and a pop of color.
Experiment: Customize your Pico de Gallo by adding ingredients like diced mango, pineapple, or cucumber for a unique twist.
Citrus Zest: Enhance the flavor with a touch of orange or grapefruit zest along with the lime juice.
