I think this is what she's talking about. It's a dry spice blend
that's typically sprinkled on fruits and vegetables.

It's made from ground or powdered chili, not to be confused with chili
powder, and salt and some citrus like lime or lemon mainly in the form
of citric acid.

This blend has some course ground black pepper in it also.
Unfortunately I didn't save the label. I bought it from one of those
hanging spice racks but it is also available in containers.

For years I had never heard of pico de gallo in a salsa form, I had
always known it in the dry form.


hope this helps I'm still looking for the recipe to make some. I love
challenges.
