This classic Mexican salsa combines diced fresh tomatoes, onions, cilantro, jalapeño peppers, and lime juice to create a chunky, refreshing mixture that's perfect for adding bold flavor to countless dishes.

Pico de gallo, which translates to "rooster's beak" in Spanish, is a staple in Mexican cuisine known for its simple yet perfect balance of ingredients. The chunky texture and mild-to-medium heat level make it incredibly versatile for both cooking and serving. Use it as a classic dip with tortilla chips, spoon it over tacos, burritos, quesadillas, or grilled meats, or incorporate it into scrambled eggs for a flavorful breakfast. It also works beautifully as a fresh topping for baked potatoes, mixed into salads, or served alongside grilled fish or chicken for a healthy, low-calorie flavor boost.
Since this is fresh pico de gallo, it's best enjoyed within a few days of purchase for optimal taste and texture. Store it in the refrigerator and give it a gentle stir before serving, as the natural juices may separate. The fresh cilantro and lime juice provide bright, citrusy notes that complement the sweet tomatoes and sharp onions, while the jalapeños add just the right amount of heat to awaken your taste buds.
