This is usually a staple for us during the summer, when the tomatoes are sweet, beautiful, and abundant. It’s fresh, easy to make, and super delicious! Add some tortilla chips, and this pico de gallo disappears. It’s also great over most meats and white fish. This pico can be used as a “dressing” in a green salad or mixed in with rice to make a really simple, light Spanish rice.
