A party isn’t a party without some chips and salsa. I’m always amazed [read: shocked] at just how many extra and harmful ingredients homemade salsa has which is why I always make my own. The more and more cook and the more I aspire to teach others to cook, the more I’m genuinely surprised at how people don’t realize just how simple and easy their favorite foods are. Pico de Gallo is one of them.
Pico de Gallo is a fresh tomato salsa with endless possibilities. We eat it by the pounds at parties and get togethers. It’s a dish that’s so easy to make that anyone can remix it any they can—and just trust me, I’ve had fun doing just that. Whether you like it spicy or mild, Pico de Gallo is a great entry level dish to test your creativity. Today I’m keeping it simple but delicious nonetheless!
