Mexican salsa or salsa mexicana, is the perfect condiment for Spanish and Mexican food. Pico de Gallo means “Rooster’s beak” and is made with the colours of the Mexican flag. Tomatoes (red), Onions (white) and cilantro (green).

Super simple to make, I made it a little bit of my own with additional spices and here’s my recipe:

• 1 small onion
• A handful of cilantro leaves
• A packet (in this case 14oz) of cherry tomatoes
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
• 1 tsp peperoncino
• A lot of lime juice (2 limes)

Chop up the onions. Dice the tomatoes. Pull off the cilantro leaves off of the stalks and either tear them up with your hands or chop them super roughly. Mince the garlic and sprinkle the pepper and peperoncino (not to be mixed with pepperoncini) and mix. Pour over a good squeeze of lime juice mix again. Super easy. I would say that if you’re not a big fan of lime – just use less or none at all. Originally there is none in there.

Note: The onions in the image were cut up too roughly, so I had to let it refrigerate over night to not have too much of an onion flavour.
