A staple condiment in Mexican cuisine, Pico De Gallo, popularly known as Salsa Fresca, is a tangy, spicy salsa made from tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, cilantro, and lime juice. This versatile salsa is known for its freshness and unique taste. It is a perfect party dish to serve as an appetizer on its own or as a topping on tacos, burritos, grilled chicken or fish.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, mix together tomatoes, onion, jalapeno peppers, cilantro and lime juice.
2.	Stir well to combine and let sit for 10-15 minutes so the flavors can meld together.
