Why cooks start here
Pico de Gallo belongs to the everyday cooking of kitchens across Mexico, where its aroma calls everyone to the table. This home version keeps the flavors direct and generous, the way a family cook serves it.
Pico de Gallo is a staple in Mexican households, a fresh salsa that brings together the simple yet vibrant flavors of tomatoes, onions, chiles, and cilantro. It's a dish that finds its place on tables across the country, offering a burst of freshness that complements a variety of meals. This version stays true to its roots, using roma tomatoes, white onion, and either serrano or jalapeño chiles for a touch of heat. Fresh cilantro adds an herbal note, while lime juice and salt bring everything into balance. It's often enjoyed with totopos, adding a satisfying crunch to each bite.
