14 Reviews of Pico de Gallo (Fresh Salsa / Salsa Cruda)

From: Kim in Walnut Creek

On Nov 12, 2003

Classic pico de gallo. I added more cilantro and lime juice to suit our personal preferences. Served on the side of Nurse Di's yummy chicken enchiladas (#33076). Grab a cold Corono, close your eyes, and pretend you're on the beach in Mexico. Ariba!

    This is the base I use for all my salsa recipes. I credit you accordingly.

    This is my favorite salsa. Very simple. Very fresh. Salsa is my favorite food. Period. This recipe is also good with fresh, chopped avocado in it.

    This really is how simple Pico de Gallo is! I added 1 juiced lemon as well, and 2 (bundles) of cilantro because we love the richness in the flavor that adds. (We actually mix this in salsa to make it more flavorful and chunky!) This is so colorful and delicious, smells fabulous. I will submit a picture BEFORE we add the salsa, btw I still haven't found a really good authentic salsa on here to make 5 STARS !!!

    This was so unbelievably delicious. I had to bring something for a gettogether, and I brought this and those new lime flavored tortilla chips. Everone loved it - I was hoping I would have some left over to take home but everyone ate it all! It's so easy, and you can really adjust it to exactly as spicy as you want. I needed to add some salt and more lime to mine. Thanks for the recipe!

    Very good, would add more jalapeno peppers next time. As I am on a severely restricted sodium diet I cannot add salt, but think it could use some.

    This salsa was okay but rather bland. I tried adding salt but it didn't help much. I think it needs some garlic perhaps?

    I followed the recipe & directions exactly the first time I made this salsa.It had way to much cilantro for me.I tried again using 1 tablespoon of cilantro and added 3 minced cloves of garlic.
