Pico de Gallo
'Pico de gallo' means 'rooster's beak' in Spanish. It is also called salsa fresca or salsa mexicana, because the red tomato, white onion and green chilli are the colours of the Mexican flag.
A fresh, chunky salsa of ripe tomato, onion, chilli, coriander and lime. Mexico's everyday table salsa for tacos and fajitas.
Ingredients
Method
Put the tomatoes, onion, chilli and coriander in a bowl.
Add the lime juice and salt and toss gently.
Leave for 15 minutes so the flavours meet, then taste and adjust the salt, lime and heat.
Serve fresh the same day with tacos, fajitas, nachos or grilled meat.
Deseed the tomatoes so the pico stays chunky and doesn't go watery. Rinse the diced onion in cold water for a milder taste.
