Pico de Gallo Recipe

Pico de gallo is both healthy and refreshing, and probably one of the easiest salsas to prepare. This hot commodity is a medley of tomatoes, onions, cilantro, jalapeños, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Since fresh vegetables are packed with vitamins, this is a great way to add some nutritional value while spicing up your favorite food. I love making this any time of the year, and it is very versatile – you can use it as a dip, on top of chicken or carne asada, in a taco, fajita, burrito, and it is especially delicious with eggs.
