In Mexican cuisine, Pico de Gallo, also called Salsa Fresca, is made from chopped Tomato, Onion, Cilantro leaves, fresh Serrano Pepper, Salt, and Lime Juice. Other ingredients, such as Shrimp or Avocado, are also sometimes added. If you do not have a Serrano Pepper available, you can substitute a Jalapeño Pepper.
Pico de Gallo is served with chips and as a topping for tacos and other Mexican Dishes.
