Pico de Gallo is a fresh salsa.  It’s commonly served as a condiment or topping for many Spanish and Southwestern dishes.  It’s delicious eaten on salads, tacos, enchiladas, fajitas or enjoy it on a tortilla chip as a fresh salsa with a side of guacamole.  It’s simple goodness and the fresh flavors compliment any dish, and it can be easily doubled or downsized, whatever your need may be.
Pico de Gallo
I make it year-round since we are fortunate to have access to quality fresh produce anytime of year.  Some people I know plant a salsa garden just so they can grow their own crop of ingredients to havreon hand and make it straight from the vine.  It’s low calorie but packs BIG flavor and nutrients and I wouldn’t dream of hosting a fiesta without it.
