Pico De Gallo, or ‘chunky salsa’.
This is a traditional recipe for a popular Mexican side. Pico De Gallo might also be known as ‘chunky salsa’. It simply consists of fresh tomatoes, onion, jalapeno peppers and cilantro, dressed with lime juice, salt, and garlic (if desired). When I made quesadillas the other day, I absolutely had to whip up a fresh bowl of this. It completed the meal perfectly. I think you will agree!

Notes
*Notes:
I don't tolerate spicy very well, so I only used 1/4 of my jalapeno. I also dice it very small for that reason. You can add as much as you can take, or chop it as large as you wish. 😉
