Fresh & Flavorful Pico de Gallo

Fresh & Flavorful Pico de Gallo

My daughter Kaylee LOVES fresh pico de gallo. She'll sit with a huge bowl of it and a bag of organic tortilla chips and just inhale it, and with fresh tomatoes, peppers, and onion, the vitamins and minerals can't be beat. It's also REALLY easy, and I make it all summer long straight out of my garden.

Notes

A chopper isn't mandatory, but I prefer it. Very low in saturated fat, no cholesterol, low in sodium, very high in dietary fiber, potassium, and vitamins A, B6, and C, and high in manganese, magnesium, niacin, phosphorus, and thiamin.
