Salsa Fresca, also known as pico de gallo, is a fresh and vibrant mix of ripe tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, and cilantro, brought together with a zing of lime juice and a hint of salt. This easy-to-make salsa is the perfect appetizer for tortilla chips and tacos, or as a topping for your favourite Mexican dishes.
