If you love freshly grilled Mexican food, you’ve surely enjoyed pico de gallo salsa on your favorite dish. While many peeps focus on trying to get a grilled chicken or beef recipe down to a science, it is actually the pico de gallo that brings the fresh & sassy flavor to the fiesta.
One of the great things about making it homemade is that you can make it as spicy or mild as you like. This can be made a few hours in advance and refrigerated so that the flavors have time to fully blend together.
Fresh tomatoes from the garden are the very, very best. There is no comparison.
“Cilantro, my favorite herb of all. I love you.”
