Pico de Gallo translates to Roosters Beak. This is a great Pico de Gallo recipe right from my grandmother's kitchen. You will love this recipe fresh, sweet, and spicy all together right out of Mexico. This is an authentic Pico de Gallo recipe. It was always on our table in the summertime. We enjoyed it with tortilla chips or on top of grilled meats from the barbecue. I am sure it will be a favorite at your home. Enjoy.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This pico de gallo recipe will knock your socks off... in more ways than one! We love the delightfully fresh combination of peppers, onion, mango, and pineapple. It packs a real punch, though, so try adjusting the number of jalapenos if you typically like to walk on the milder side. This homemade pico de gallo will be delicious with tortilla chips or served with grilled chicken or fish.
