What is pico de gallo?
Let's start by giving a simple explanation to what pico de gallo is; it translates to "rooster's beak" and it is a chunky Mexican salsa that is used as a finishing touch on several dishes to add a touch of brightness. I've also seen it referred to as "salsa fresca," it uses freshly riped and diced tomatoes, onion, cilantro and lemon juice. Sometimes, people add diced jalapeño as well, but I don't like jalapeños, so I omit them.
For an example, I used a plain pico de gallo in my Churrasco Steak & Toston Nacho recipe.
