store-bought options and super easy to make. It's more than just a partner for tortilla chips or a relish on the side of your favorite Mexican dish; it’s a fantastic, flavorful topping for sandwiches and soups, too.
All that you'll need to savor the flavors of Mexico’s quintessential
salsa, Pico de Gallo, is a good knife — and truly fresh salsa will be within your reach. Use the freshest ingredients you can get.
