Is Tex-Mex food a part of your cooking repertoire?  If so, then fresh, delicious salsa is always a must!  Many people buy the pre-packaged stuff at the grocery store, but I’m here to tell ya that making a fresh batch is WAYYYYYYY better!  Classic Pico de Gallo Salsa is the perfect topping for just about any and every Tex-Mex meal!

Making this salsa super simple, and comes together easily.  All you need are a few basic ingredients like tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeno, lime juice, vinegar, and salt!  It’s then just a matter of chopping your ingredients, and mixing together.  Within minutes you’ll be able to enjoy a fresh, chunky with your favorite tortilla chips!

For this recipe, I like to use red onion, but feel free to substitute white or yellow if you prefer.  I also use a full, medium-sized jalapeno pepper – for more heat add another, or for less heat, add just a half or eliminate completely.  You can also adjust the cilantro to your taste preference as well.
