Pico de Gallo
I love Mexican and Tex-Mex food …. it’s definitely one of my favorite things! I enjoy this (aka Salsa Fresca) with numerous dishes. It’s great on tacos, burritos, fajitas, tostadas, scrambled eggs … or just eat it with tortilla chips! Pico de Gallo is a fresh, uncooked salsa. There isn’t the amount of liquid in a normal salsa. This version is not spicy, although you could add additional jalapenos or use serrano peppers for more heat.
This is perfect for my Homemade Mexi-Melts, too! They’re an easy weeknight meal solution! Delish!

Hi Jamie, I love pico de gallo also. It's so easy and it can add great flavors to a plain grilled fillet of sole or simply grilled chicken breast. Wow, that sounds so good doesn't it? Now I'm hungry.
Thanks for sharing on Foodie Friends Friday.

My Husband always orders double Pico when we go out to eat! Thanks so much for Linking up at Show Me Your Plaid Monday's!
I think I like pico more than salsa because of that freshness you described. Versatile, too. Thank you for stopping in and linking w/ See Ya in the Gumbo this week. Hope you are having a fine Monday!
Jamie I love pico de gallo! I love the freshness that you just don't have with salsa! Boy, I have almost all these ingredients already, this will be so easy to throw together! Thanks for sharing at Once Creative Weekend!

Jamie, it's always posts like this that make me slap myself on the forehead and wonder why I never thought to blog that recipe. You know, simple things that taste great, like pico de gallo. I make this stuff all the time (though in Costa Rica we call it chimichurri.) Your food photos are really great. I can tell you've spent a lot of time practicing and learning about foodie photography. Way to go! Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Lovely. This looks so yummy. Pico is my favorite late night snack. Will be trying this, thanks for sharing at the Time to Sparkle Link Party, that is where I saw it, already following you on FB, pinned, love it! Thanks.
Yum! One of my favorites!! I love the new pics! Pinning!
This Pico de Gallo looks so fresh and yummy. And a wonderful way to get the veggies.
Looks great Jamie! Pinning 🙂
