In Mexico, pico de gallo refers to various types of salsa made from fresh, finely diced fruits and/or vegetables. The most common version is made with red tomatoes, white onions, and green chili peppers and is sometimes called "salsa mexicanana" because the colors of this salsa represent the colors of the Mexican flag.

Ingredients:

• 700 g yellow or red tomatoes, seeded and chopped
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
• 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
• 2 serrano peppers, seeded and finely chopped*
