Pico de gallo is a type of salsa commonly used in Mexican cuisine. It is also known as “Salsa Fresca,” or “Salsa Cruda” . Pico de gallo is made from finely chopped fresh ingredients, including tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and lime juice. The name "pico de gallo" literally means "roosters beak" in Spanish, although the reason for this name is not definitive. Pico de gallo is distinct from other salsas in that its ingredients are fresh and finely diced, not cooked or mashed. It can be used as a dip with tortilla chips, or as a topping for Mexican dishes such as tacos, burritos, and quesadillas. Pico de gallo is easy to make and can be adjusted to suit individual preferences by adding more or less of certain ingredients.
