What is pico de gallo?

Pico de Gallo, also known as salsa fresca, is a fresh Mexican salsa. It's made from fresh, uncooked ingredients, including tomatoes, white onions, cilantro, serrano peppers, and lime juice. The ingredients are chopped and mixed together for a chunky texture.

What type of tomatoes are best for pico de gallo?

Roma tomatoes are often the go-to choice for Pico de Gallo because they have a firm texture and fewer seeds, which makes them easier to dice and less watery in your salsa.

How do you select a ripe avocado?

Gently squeeze the avocado, and if it has a slight give to it, then it's ripe. The stem or cap at the top of the avocado should come off easily and you should see green underneath.
