Fresh Pico de Gallo

Pico de gallo is a raw salsa.  It is easy to create and you can control the hotness by the amount of jalapeno and seeds you add.

This recipe is best done by hand.  If you put into a food processor just pulse so you don’t pulverize the veggies.  It should be chunky.

I like to add fresh pico to my guacamole and it is an ingredient in our Black Bean Salsa Salad.

This recipe is also found in our book, Wonderfully Well, available on Amazon.com with 150 pages of delicious, quick healthy recipes.
