About this dish
Pico de gallo, also called salsa fresca, is a raw Mexican salsa famous for its freshness and simplicity. Made mainly of finely chopped tomatoes, onions, chili peppers (often jalapeños), fresh cilantro, and lime juice, this mixture is seasoned with salt to enhance the flavors. The ingredients are cut into small dice to create a pleasant, crunchy texture. Pico de gallo is characterized by its bright colors and vivid taste, where the sweetness of the tomatoes balances the heat of the chilies and the acidity of the lime. Traditionally served as a side or topping, it pairs perfectly with dishes such as tacos, burritos, fajitas, or can simply be enjoyed with tortilla chips. This condiment is not only delicious but also healthy, adding a touch of freshness and spice to every dish.
