Total time: 130 min
Ingredients: 3 Tbsp fresh lime juice; 1/4 tsp lemon pepper; 1/4 tsp garlic salt; black pepper to taste; 4 Roma tomatoes or 3 medium fresh garden tomatoes; 1 medium jalapeno pepper (finely diced); 1/3 cup chopped cilantro; 1 small red onion (finely diced)

This fresh Pico de Gallo is a fresh salsa ideal for serving as a condiment for Spanish and Southwestern dishes. It's delicious eaten on salads, tacos, enchiladas, fajitas or enjoy it with tortilla chips as a dip with a side of guacamole. It's packed with flavor and healthy to boot. It doesn't get any better than that.

Pico de Gallo a Fresh Year-Round Salsa

I make pico de gallo year-round since we are fortunate to have access to quality fresh produce anytime of year. One of my dear friends plants a salsa garden just so they can grow their own crop of ingredients to have on hand and make it straight from the vine. That takes farm to table to another level. It's a low calorie salsa but, packs BIG flavor and nutrients. I wouldn't dream of hosting a fiesta without it any time of year. Another vegetable packed condiment we also love is this Cowboy Caviar.

Fresh Flavor and Healthy

Pico de gallo is simple goodness with fresh flavors that compliment any dish. It can be easily doubled or downsized, whatever the size of the crowd you're feeding. It's so scrumptious and good for you. Are you planning a homestyle fiesta soon?
