Nothing is more traditional in terms of Mexican cuisine than a fresh pico de gallo recipe.

What is Pico de Gallo?
A popular Mexican salsa made from a few fresh raw ingredients is called Pico de Gallo. It’s otherwise called “Salsa Fresca” or “New Tomato Salsa. “Commonly pico de gallo is made with equivalent pieces of tomatoes and onion and blended in with new cilantro, a liberal press of lime squeeze and salt. In the United States, we began adding jalapeno for extra heat. For a milder salsa, you can, however, skip it.
Pico de gallo literally translates to “rooster’s beak,” but this salsa contains no rooster beaks!This name can be explained in a number of different ways.The idea that pico de gallo is a play on words is the one that makes the most sense to me.
The Spanish words “picante” and “pico” can both mean “sharp” or “a bird’s beak,” respectively. You can ask someone if a salsa is hot by saying “Pica? “figuratively, “Does it poke?”)
Pico de gallo is a play on words that refers to the vibrant ingredients in this spicy salsa that resemble the colors of a gallo (rooster).
