Perfect Pico de Gallo

Perfect Pico de Gallo is a Mexican combination of freshness. Pico is a type of salsa except it uses only fresh ingredients and contains less juice. Serve as a dip with tortilla chips or as part of a taco / burrito or quesadilla filling. Alternatively you can turn away from tradition and add it to scrambled eggs for breakfast /brunch. This recipe brings freshness and crunch to every bite. One of the benefits of making your own Perfect Pico de Gallo is that you can customise it. It is easy to adjust the heat and spice of the dish by adding chillies, bell peppers, sweetcorn etc.
