Pico De Gallo...salsa...ceviche...call It What You Will. image

This is an awesome, fresh, healty mixture that is really diverse. I use it on grilled skirt steak or chicken tacos, I use it as a salsa for chips, and/or I add shrimp and serve it like ceviche. This is my default summer dish since it's so healthy and I almost always have the ingredients on hand. I served it at a party recently with shrimp in it and everyone loved it! Note: The amounts below are what I find to be a good balance of flavors, they don't need to be exactly these amounts.

I would not recommend this recipe. It was a waste of time and ingredients.

This recipe was a disaster! The salsa was way too spicy and the ceviche was undercooked.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pico de gallo turned out too watery. I think I'll try using less lime juice next time.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste.

This was my first time making pico de gallo and it turned out great! I used fresh ingredients from my garden and the salsa was so flavorful.
