| Salsa Fresca (also know as Pico de Gallo) ~ simple goodness |
 |
| Last years veggie garden... |
Last night, I went through a gardening photo album & came across a bunch of pictures of my garden/tomatoes & the salsa I make when my tomato plants are producing like crazy.
Below is my simple recipe for Salsa Fresca ~also know as Pico de Gallo. It's super easy to make & very tasty. You can add additional ingredients/spices to suite your mood or to use what you have available in your veggie bin ~ or veggie garden, depending on the time of year.

| Lots & lots of ripe tomatoes... |
So, if you are looking for another Mexican dish to add to your Cinco de Mayo
celebration, make a big bowl of this salsa, grab a bag of tortilla chips & munch away! :)
Salsa Fresca / Pico de Gallo
4 medium tomatoes, cored & diced
(red, yellow, heirloom or a mixture ~ I like to leave the
seeds/juice in my toms, but seed them if you must) :)
1/3 cup onion ~ diced small
1/2 fresh jalapeno ~ minced (or to taste)
(seeded or not, depending on how hot you like your salsa)
1 bunch cilantro leaves ~ chopped
2 tblsp lime juice
1/4 tsp cumin
~ salt & pepper (to taste)
 |
1) in a mixing bowl combine all the ingredients
2) stir and toss well
3) enjoy right away ~ serve with tortilla chips or with anything that needs
a little bump in flavor
ENJOY!
