Pico de Gallo Salsa

From Jonesborough Locally Grown

Pico de Gallo is basically a blend of fresh vegetables and hot chile, also known as salsa cruda,salsa fresca, salsa fria or salsa Mejicana. As most salsas, it can be a dip, however it also makes a wonderful dressing on meat dishes. We’ve had it with the Red Chile Stew also included in this recipe section.
