Pico de Gallo is commonly used in Mexico as an appetizer. It is a type of salsa that you can use to eat with chips.
It is very easy to make, and all you need are the next ingredients…
2 large tomatoes
1 large onion
2 serrano chiles (green chiles)
juice of one lime
olive oil
fresh coriander leaves (cilantro)
salt & pepper
Finely chop the tomatoes, the onion, the chiles and the cilantro. Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Add the juice of a lime and the olive oil. Season with a little bit of salt and pepper.
Remember, Do the Mexican, do it with style!

what about green onions? Do you ever use those instead?
Are serrano peppers your favorite? I really love fresh jalapenos in this dish.
I’ve been afraid to eat serranos, that they might be too hot for me.
Thanks for your thoughts.

sweetcomice: Actually fresh jalapeños, or costeños, as we also know them in Mexico, are spicier. Dont be afraid of serranos, you´ll do just fine. Try first with only one.
