THIS IS IT!! We used to go to a little whole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant that had THE best pico de gallo/salsa - I'm telling you, the chips were only used as a mere instrument to get the stuff into your mouth! :-P Unfortunately, it was a little too whole-in-the-wall, the Mexicans apparently didn't get very good marketing advice and it closed. OH, WOE IS ME!! So, I set out to concoct the next best thing and, through trial and error and advice, I DO believe that I have it! I hope that you will try this and let me know what YOU think...
~4-6 Roma tomatoes, chopped
~1/2 lg. Onion, chopped
~4-6 Jalapeno Peppers (depending on your taste and stomach lining), chopped
~1 LARGE bunch of fresh Cilantro, chopped
~1-2 cloves of Garlic, chopped...OR...1-1/2 ts. Garlic Powder
~Lime juice - to taste (I buy those little plastic juice-filled limes & count to 3 while I squirt)
~Sea Salt or Real Salt - several large shakes, to taste

Oh, Kim! Do I ever love this salsa! Our daughter and son-in-law lived in Mexico City for 12 years as missionaries and we've enjoyed this salsa many many times. The first time I was served this delicious salsa was as an appetizer in a Mexican restaurant in Mexico City. It was served with rolls...hard and crusty on the outside and wonderfully soft on the inside. We would break off a piece of the roll and dip it into the salsa! Oh yum! Thanks for sharing your recipe.
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to thank you for stopping by last week and leaving me such special comments. I appreciate your insight into things.
Hope you have a wonderful Monday.
Mmmm, I love pico! I always add chopped avocado and cilantro to mine, maybe a dash of cumin. Could eat it all day, and surprisingly it's one of the only things that sounds good when I have morning sickness! I ate it all through nausea with my first, and it's been on the menu more than once with this one!
