pico de gallo

In Mexican cuisine, pico de gallo also called salsa fresca, is a fresh, uncooked salad made from chopped tomato, white onion, and chilis (generally jalapeños, serranos or habaneros). Other ingredients may also be added, such as shrimp, vienna sausage or squid, avocado, key lime juice, lime juice or apple cider vinegar, fresh coriander leaves, cucumber, radish or firm fruit such as mango. It is generally eaten with tortilla chips. Pico de gallo can be used in much the same way as other salsas, Kenyan kachumbari, or Indian chutneys, but since it contains less liquid, it can also be used as a main ingredient in dishes such as tacos and fajitas.
