Classic Pico de Gallo

CinnamonCinnamon6514

Pico de gallo is a vibrant Mexican salsa that bursts with freshness in every bite. Unlike cooked salsas, this classic condiment is all about crisp, raw ingredients—ripe tomatoes, zesty onions, spicy jalapeños, and fragrant cilantro—brought together with a squeeze of lime. It's perfect as a scoopable dip, taco topper, or a bright accent for grilled meats and veggies. The beauty of pico de gallo lies in its simplicity and versatility: it's quick to assemble, endlessly customizable, and always a crowd-pleaser with its bold colors and lively flavors.
