Homemade Pico de Gallo

by Mary 3 Comments

homemade pico de galloI’ll be the first to admit to you that my pico de gallo recipe isn’t entirely traditional, but honestly, if it were would I really need to share it with you since you can find the traditional recipe just about anywhere. Traditional pico de gallo will have tomatoes, white onions, peppers (usually serrano or jalapenos), fresh cilantro and lime juice.

The recipe I’m sharing with you came about for two reasons. One, I love peppers of all styles, so for me, the more the merrier. Two, I was out of both limes and lime juice and I didn’t want to go to the store, so I had to make due with what I had. Both of these things combined turned out to be a wonderful thing for me!

The obvious use of this, at least obvious for us, is to use the pico de gallo as a chip dip, but that’s boring. I’ve also found this recipe is fantastic on just about any Mexican dish from tacos to fajitas, nachos to topping enchiladas. It’s also great on scrambled eggs, baked potatoes, or even eating it as a salad (when I eat it this way I revert to it’s sister name of salsa fresca so I sound fancier.)

I hope you enjoy this slightly different spin on pico de gallo.

      Thank you so much! This bowl was given to us as an engagement gift!. That’s over 10 years ago and I still love it. Also, homegrown tomatoes and peppers are usually how I make this. This time I just couldn’t wait for our garden to catch up. I needed to make it NOW! Spring food cravings can do that to a person, lol
