  • Pico de Gallo, also known as salsa fresca or salsa cruda, is a classic Mexican condiment. It's a fresh, uncooked mix of diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, jalapeños, lime juice, and salt. The name means "rooster's beak" in Spanish, though the reason behind the name is unclear.
    This salsa is super versatile-perfect as a dip with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, burritos, grilled meats, and more. Its fresh, zesty flavor makes it a staple in Mexican cuisine and a favourite in many households for adding a burst of freshness to any meal. Simple to make and full of vibrant flavors, Pico de Gallo is a must-have for any Mexican food lover.

    Hello Rik! I have worked in several New Mexico restaurants over the past 30 years & have made Pico multiple thousands of times. You are spot on! You say it however you like. It won't make a difference to the taste buds. I put it on eggs for breakfast. It's also fantastic in quesadillas, nachos, burritos, enchiladas & more. Add melted cheese to it & you get an awesome Queso dip. It's so versatile. Thanks for all the great videos. You keep it simple, like it should be.

    I realized a little while ago, why this channel appeals to me so much. It takes me back to my childhood ( Scottish/English parents/cooking/nostalgia).
    But as a child, I used to RUN home ftom school, to watch Graham Kerr, oohing and aahing as he cooked. Ohhh, I so wanted to be there, and be the one he invited up onstage, to sample that delicious delectable delightful thing he had cooked! 😆

    I had some good friends from Honduras that showed me this recipe. The only thing I do differently is I remove the seeds from the Jalapeno. I don't like the heat. It is a very good recipe. Delicious. Lesson learned, wash your hands because the jalapeno will burn if you touch your skin or anything. 🤗🤗🤗

Alas no longer have the funds to visit Mexico 🇲🇽, but will have a little bit of Mexican cuisine in my own territory, washed down with a refreshing Mojito! I’ll raise a glass to your very good health Rik!🍸 Thank you & take care 🙏👨‍🍳🇲🇽🌵👌

    Ive done tomato tests with seeds in, and out. It TOTALLY depends on The Tomato O’ The Day.
    Sometimes it can be nastily bitter. 🤷‍♀️

    Thank you for sharing how to easily de-seed the tomato slices and the hot peppers. Glad to see your onions occasionally can contain surprise issues of tired sections as mine do even when the outside looks fine. Nice to have another option with tomatoes to ensure no food waste and because variety is the spice of life. At retirement age I am finally exploring the world of mildly hot peppers as my British & Welsh heritage did not include any hot peppers in the cooking. A tiny half teaspoonful of horse radish was as hot as we had once a week with Sunday beef roast.
