Homemade Pico de Gallo Recipe

When tomatoes are ripening on the vine, cilantro sprigs are demanding to be cut before they go to seed, and sweet onions can be plucked fresh from the garden, I know it’s time to my homemade Pico de Gallo recipe! 

So simple to throw together, this satisfying appetizer can also be the perfect topping for grilled fish or chicken. Add mozzarella balls and some avocado, and you’ve got a side salad!
