Pico De Gallo
Bright, sharp, and crunchy with a citrusy kick.
Lens analyzedPico de gallo is a fresh, uncooked mix of chopped tomato, onion, chile, cilantro, and lime, distinct from cooked jarred salsas for its crunch and bright acidity. It's spooned on tacos, grilled meats, or chips rather than simmered into anything.
Where it comes from
The name means "rooster's beak" in Spanish, and this style of fresh-chopped Mexican condiment developed as a way to dress simple dishes with raw vegetables rather than a cooked sauce.
Buying it
At a deli or prepared-foods case, choose a container that still looks bright and hasn't pooled watery liquid at the bottom, which signals it's been sitting a while.
Storing it
Keep it cold and plan to finish it within a few days — the chopped tomato and onion break down and release liquid quickly once cut, even refrigerated.
Keeps about 4 days in the fridge.
