At our house, Mexican food is standard fare. And while I don’t ever call this dish by it’s true name, “pico de gallo,” I make up a batch at least once a week. We simply call it, salsa. And it is so yummy, especially if you have homegrown tomatoes.

Pico de gallo is nothing more than a salsa made with fresh tomatoes, onions, herbs, and chiles. It comes together so quickly, you'll wonder why you don't make it more often.

    We just call it that fresh tomato stuff … 2 tomatos, half of an onion, 1 to 2 jalepenos, toss them in the Vidalia Chopper (if you don’t have one, the best $15 I’ve spent in a LONG time) squeeze a lime all over and dash of salt. Yumm…this goes on EVERYTHING from scrambled eggs to topping chicken off the grill. It’s my go to condiment for everything!

    Pico de gallo is my favorite summer food. I’m a big cheater and make it in the food processor. I process everything separately so it doesn’t turn into soup.
