HOMEMADE PICO DE GALLO (FRESH TOMATO SALSA)



Homemade Pico de Gallo (Fresh Tomato Salsa) image

Pico de Gallo is a fresh tomato salsa popular in Mexico. Use ripe tomatoes for this. Not all tomatoes are created equal. When choosing tomatoes, look for tomatoes that are deeply colored and firm, with a little give. If they don't smell like anything, skip them. They should smell like a tomato - sweet and woody.

TEXAS BEST PICO DE GALLO

In Texas and Mexico, this is known as pico de gallo, but in Central America it's known as Chismol. It's best with fresh vegetables from the garden or farmers market. Tip: do not overchop ingredients; onion and tomatoes should not be mushy. We use pico de gallo as a relish, dip, topping for baked potatoes, Mexican food or fish, or mix it with pinto beans, black-eyed peas or rice.
