We’ve covered the red salsa and the green salsa in previous blogs, but there’s something about a nice fresh bowl of pico de gallo on the table that just puts a smile on my face. Not only that but when you make a fresh batch, it makes the RV smell so good. Matter of fact, you might want to keep the windows shut so you can keep that smell inside, and not have the neighbors lining up outside your door like it’s a Taco Truck!
I guess the best thing about Pico is you can use it on anything. You can put it on your breakfast tacos, fish or chicken dishes, eat it with chips, or even just eat it straight like a very spicy salad. Unlike salsa though, you need to start eating Pico more, or less immediately. It’ll keep in the fridge of course, but it may start to get a little soggy after a day or so. Anyhow, here’s what you’re going to need: 4 tomatoes, 2 jalapeños, a purple onion, cilantro, lime, and garlic.
You’ll need to dice up the tomatoes, about a quarter of the onion, the garlic, and both jalapeños (remove the seeds if you don’t want real spicy Pico, leave ’em in if you want to bring the heat). Put all the chopped ingredients into a bowl, chop up about a quarter cup of cilantro and throw it in, juice the lime, maybe add a tiny bit of olive oil, and salt to taste. You’ll need to let it sit for 30-40 minutes and let it all co-mingle and get awesome Then…EAT!
