Pico de Gallo
Pico de gallo is a bright, fresh tomato salsa. We use grape or cherry tomatoes because they tend to be dependably sweet and flavorful even when regular tomatoes are dull, mealy and out of season. For a spicier salsa, leave the seeds in the jalapeño.
Don't make the pico de gallo too far ahead. Even after the tomatoes are transferred to a serving bowl with a slotted spoon, they will continue to release liquid and their texture will soften.
