Pico de Gallo—a fresh, vibrant salsa hailing from our southern neighbors in Mexico—is the perfect addition to any family gathering or taco Tuesday affair. This simple mix of ripe tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, cilantro, and lime is as refreshing as it is versatile. Making it in a giant glass jar not only adds a touch of rustic charm to your table but also makes for an easy way to store and keep the pico de gallo fresh. Whether you’re spicing up your grilled meats or just jazzing up your chips, pico de gallo brings everyone together for a fresh bite of flavor!
Pico de gallo pairs splendidly with crunchy tortilla chips, over steaming hot fajitas, or spooned atop your favorite tacos. For a lighter touch, it’s delightful scooped over a bed of fresh greens or as a vibrant complement to grilled fish and chicken. And, if you’ve got youngsters or folks with milder palates, it’s a fab way to add a kick of veggies into their meals—without overwhelming their taste buds.
