NOTES: Salsa Cruda, Pico de Gallo, Salsa Mexicana, Salsa Fresca, and Salsa Picada all refer to the same uncooked sauce consisting of Tomatoes, Onions, and Jalapenos. Pico de Gallo means “beak of the rooster” and probably refers to the bit size kernels of rooster feed, although some same it references the time of the day to make the sauce, while other people say it references the shape of a rooster’s beak. Finally, some think that Pico de Gallo references a certain cocky machismo needed to eat hot sauces. The world may never know why it is called what it is.
Suggested Uses:
Serve with tortilla chips, use as a marinade, or use as a topping on grilled foods.
