[donotprint] I used to buy fresh pico de gallo at our local grocery store until I read the ingredients label and discovered it was pretty easy to make at home. In fact, all you need are a few ingredients chopped up and voila, you have pico de gallo.
We love to eat pico de gallo with tacos, on chicken, scrambled eggs, and of course… tortilla chips! Enjoy! [/donotprint]
Pico De Gallo Recipe

Gently combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl. Allow the salsa to rest for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Just found your blog this afternoon and decided to make your pico de gallo and guacamole. Both recipes were winners @ my dinner table tonight! Thanks so much! 🙂
Try adding some chopped cucumbers to the pico de gallo. The cucumbers make store bought salsa seem fresh and delicious.

Great recipe!! I made this Pico de gallo recipe today. I was wonderful!
Aimee,
Cilantro are coriander leaves. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriander
Hey this looks delicious, and i’m looking at it for the guacamole. Except what is cilantro? Is it like, parsley or something.
NZ.
pico de gallo IS easy, and SOOO good. You can amp up the lime or down the chili and it’s always so fresh, home-made. Lovely shot.
Oh yum! My local Mexican restaurant makes it with some chopped cabbage too…I think it helps “extend” it and makes it yummy tasting too! Thanks for your recipe…lovely pictures too!
A great set of photos. You are right, no need to buy this at the supermarket it’s too easy to make yourself.
It is really easiest recipe yet! I think that is the best way to have chips, once you have chips like that it is hard to go back to buying them at the store. Try them jasmine tea my personal favorite.
Best Regards,
wow looks fresh and colorful
Beautiful photos and simply wonderful flavours!! Yum!!
You can practically taste how fresh this Pico De Gallo is just from the pictures- I can only imagine how good it is to taste. I can’t wait to find out for myself!
that really is simple and looks so fresh too! no more pico de gallo from the store for me.
So fresh and tasty!
my favorite flavors!!! so simple yet so delicious! i always have my fridge stocked with limes, cilantro, chilies, and avocados. 🙂
Absolutely beautiful! I love the vivid colors you get in your pictures. Pico is one of my favorites… Can’t beat fresh lime and cilantro!
LOVE pico!It is so versatile.
Beautiful recipe, but am I crazy or is there a tomato fake-out in that top-left halved-tomato photo? Those look like cherry tomatoes, while the photo above is definitely vine. Creative editing 🙂
For some reason tacos come to mind. Maybe because I’m hungry. Pass a bowl my way would ya.
