15min
150min
This fresh salsa - or Pico de Gallo - is a deliciously simple dish, which is great for scooping up with tortilla chips or as a side dish. For example, combine it with Mexican rice or with a Mexican bean dish. It's a very easy (and tasty!) way to eat some extra vegetables.
The salsa will turn out the tastiest if you use beefy tomatoes, without too much moisture. Is the flesh of your tomatoes rather moist? Then pat it with a piece of kitchen paper before proceeding. With a food processory, this snack will be on the table in no time. Chopping by hand also works very well.
