Pico De Gallo Salsa Recipe

Ingredients:

2 large ripe tomatoes,
2 serrano or jalapeno peppers,
1 small onion,
1/2 red bell pepper,
2 garlic cloves,
3 tablespoons olive oil,
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro,
salt and pepper to taste,
and the juice of 1 or 2 limes.

Recipe:

Dice the tomatoes coarsely. Chop finely the two kinds of peppers, onion and garlic. Place all the salsa ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix well. Serve immediately at room temperature. It is very important that you use fresh ingredients, when they are in season, and sun-rippened field tomatoes for best results.

Pico De Gallo, or "rooster's beak" in Spanish, is sometimes called salsa fresca. It is consumed as a condiment, or as an ingredient in fajitas.
