Our pico de gallo recipe (which by the way means "Rooster Beak"), will fit the bill. Fresh, healthy and full of flavor.
If you have never tried this wonderful garnish you are in for a pleasant surprise.
I am going to show you how to make a delicious homemade salsa recipe right in your own kitchen.
It's easy to prepare and is great served with tortilla chips, in tacos, burritos, tostadas and even over eggs.
It's quite a universal dish. Try serving it along side grilled chicken, beef or fish. Need a party appetizer that's on the healthier side? This is one to try.
This simple tomato salsa is also low in fat and high in nutrients. You simply can't go wrong. So when that urge hits for salsa and chips this recipe is guaranteed to satisfy.
You can even adjust the heat by changing the amount of jalapeno you use.
