Notes
- This appetizing and colorful Mexican food recipe looks really good in the picture and you can see how the colors and textures go together.
- Use good quality onions, ripe tomatoes, and this pico de gallo will have a perfect flavor. This pico de gallo is similar to the dip you sometimes get with poppadoms in Indian restaurants, although that would not have the lime juice or cilantro in it, which are so typically Mexican.
- Pico de gallo is very popular in Mexico because it goes with so many dishes and because it is so quick and easy to put together.
