Chunky Pico De Gallo

"Pico de Gallo translates to "rooster's beak" in English (when you dip tortilla chips into it, your thumb and forefinger loosely resemble a pecking chicken). Didn't you always wonder where the name came from?"

  1. I have been looking for a good salsa type recipe for my spanish husband... and then it occurred to me that he might not like salsa but be looking for more of a pico type dish. Needless to say, we tried this one and it was fantastic. I halved the recipe just in case he didn't like it, and I put a little less onion in it and it was still fantastic. The next time I make it, I will make it as is in the recipe and probably double it. I had no idea he would eat the whole bowl! It was great! Thanks!
     
  2. Excellent pico! I have realized I do not like cooked salsa (the kind that comes in a jar). Fresh is the only way for me! This recipe is super-easy to make, and the flavors are great.
     
  3. Great recipe, easy and simple! first time I made it I used purple onion DON"T DO IT! much too strong, but that was my fault:) Thanks for posting Sharlene~W
     
  4. Awesome! I made this as written except for adding some really minced garlic...definately a keeper. Thank you. Made for Let's P-A-R-T-Y tag game 2010.
     
  5. Fantastic! I like it with a little Green Pepper too.

  1. I liked this recipe but i used habaneros instead of the jalapenos that this recipe called for, all in all it was a great recipe. My lips are still burning.
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7. I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
