I just realised that I have not yet shared my recipe for homemade Pico De Gallo Salsa with you guys yet. This is a must try recipe for those who love salsa dips! 

Made from chopped tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeños peppers, lime juice and seasoned with salt. Traditionally white onions are used, however red go well too.

Pico De Gallo, in Spanish means ‘beak of a rooster’ and is believed to originate from the resemblance of the way a rooster pecks in his food to make it edible.

And the chopping of the ingredients which also prepares a very colorful salsa which resemble the colors of a rooster’s feathers.

You can adjust it to your taste, some people like to load up on Cilantro while others prefer just a little bit of it in the salsa.

My recipe calls for a fair amount, along with 1/2 of a Jalapeno pepper which gives it just the right amount of heat.

This salsa is very fresh and tastes 10x times better than any store bought kind.

So there really is no comparing it to any other type of salsa you may have tried.

I make this allot, I mean allot. Pretty much any time I make a Mexican themed dish, I will whip this up on the side.

Takes less than 10 minutes to prepare and stores great for leftovers the next day!

Thank you MEXICO for sharing this amazing recipe with the us. Buen provecho!

When making this simple salsa, make sure to drain most of the liquid out of your tomatoes otherwise it will become mushy to fast.

I recommend using roma tomatoes, that way there is no liquid to drain.

You can serve this with your favorite tortilla chips for a healthy snack or use it as a side or filling for your tacos, fajitas, burritos etc.
