Easy Pico De Gallo Recipe

Pico De Gallo (which literally means “beak of a rooster”) is one of my favorite condiments to make at home. 

No worries though, it is 100% vegan.  While there are different theories on why it’s named after the beak of a rooster, I tend to believe that it’s because of the “bite” this fresh salsa can give you if you add a good amount of peppers. 

Not only is this salsa fresca tasty but it’s also a great way to sneak in some veggies. It makes a great topping for your favorite dishes such as nachos, tacos, tamales, enchiladas, or mixed with a couple of avocados to make a great guacamole
