Best Fresh Salsa Recipes
Fresh salsa, also known as salsa fresca or pico de gallo (a mix of raw tomatoes, diced onion, jalapeño, garlic, cilantro, and lime juice) is the perfect summertime treat. Simply chop up some fresh ingredients and combine them in a bowl. After the salsa chills in the refrigerator, serve it with tortilla chips or on top of chicken or fish.
