    This Mexican salsa fresca or pico de gallo recipe is the perfect base for guacamole and it’s delicious on pretty much any kind of taco or burrito.  It's great in the morning with eggs - just strain it well, throw it in some hot butter for a few seconds before adding some whisked eggs, then scramble it all together and serve with warm tortillas.

    Super simple, delicious salsa fresca.

    Pair this lovely Mexican salsa with my easy taco casserole with ground beef. The combination is beyond words and an instant family classic.

    Super simple, delicious salsa fresca.
