Pico de Gallo Salsa is a classic Mexican tomato salsa, hot with chili, fragrant with cilantro and juicy with tomatoes. It goes by a few different aliases – salsa fresca, salsa Mexicana, salsa cruda to name a few. Some Mexican salsas have a lot of liquid but pico de gallo is drier, meaning it’s better for use in your favorite Mexican dishes like fajitas and tacos.
My two-step recipe is super-simple to follow. Just combine everything in a bowl and adjust the ingredients to your taste – more jalapeño for extra heat, more tomato for less heat or more garlic powder for extra…garlic! And then chill to let all those heady flavors develop.
To make Pico de Gallo Salsa, you will need the following ingredients:
Add all of the ingredients to a large bowl, including the garlic powder and seasoning. Mix until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least half an hour before serving.
Make your own Pico de Gallo next time you have a fajita night, or as a dip alongside a bit plate of nachos when you’re next hosting. Don’t forget to tag #cookmerecipes when you post your creation online!
