Pico de Gallo


Mexican Pico de Gallo recipe is made with fresh tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, cilantro and lime juice for a naturally gluten free, low carb, paleo, vegetarian and vegan salsa  appetizer! In Spanish, pico de gallo literally means “rooster’s beak.” Why this salsa is called that, I’ll never know. Pico de gallo is best eaten fresh, within 12 hours of making it. Store in the fridge.

It only takes 10 minutes to make.
Personally, I really enjoy eating pico de gallo with some chips (there are gluten free ones available) and a margarita, but that’s just me. 


Besides as an appetizer serve Pico de gallo
  • on top or in an omelet
  • in most tacos
  • mixed in with guacamole
  • with quesadillas
  • on top of grilled or sauteed fish
  • on top of steak
  • in burritos or burrito bowls

  1. This take the extra five minutes to tell a manager is a great idea. I thanked a teen for shoveling snow outside a grocery store entry the other day.
