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.
