Pico De Gallo is very versatile and delicious. Serve it with nachos, burritos, tacos, grilled meats or anything that suits your fancy. It's a great way to slip extra veggies into your diet. It is delicious made with purchased produce, but if you grow your own ingredients, there is a huge flavor difference, as well as more nutritional content, since fresh-picked produce contains more nutrients than produce that has been sitting on shelves for who knows how long. You'll also save money by growing your own!
