It's a dry spice blend that's typically sprinkled on fruits and vegetables. http://i41.tinypic.com/rj1cv9.jpg 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. koko There is no love more sincere than the love of food George Bernard Shaw www.kokoscorner.typepad.com updated 12/30 |

Set aside to cool completely. Transfer chiles to spice grinder and grind to a fine powder. Mix well with salt.

Around here it's like salsa cruda - everything is raw and there's very little liquid. It's not like something that you'd dip something in but more like a relish you spoon on. It ALWAYS shows up with fajitas. Lynn in Fargo |

Pico is just tomatoes, jalapeños (used that Alt thing again :-))onion or green onion, cilantro and lime juice. The seasoning is salt. I don't understand your interpretation of Pico de Gallo. Trust me, I live less than 5 miles from Mexico. -- Janet Wilder Bad spelling. Bad punctuation Good Friends. Good Life |

They sell that in the produce section in Texas and Louisiana. The brand I have, also has a little sugar in it; not much, but a little. Tastes good on cantaloupe, watermelon, corn on the cob, cauliflower. Becca |

Again, that was a new one for me the other day. Most of the Mexican restaurants I eat at seem to be run by Salvadorans. No fruit sprinkles called Pico de Gallo there. From what I read here when thread after thread talked about Pico de Gallo a few years back it's the same as Salsa Fresca. Salsa Fresca has other names like Picata, but they are still fresh tomatoes, onion, lime juice, cilantro, garlic (or not) and jalapeño. One word, "Salsa", covers a lot of fresh variations up here. The only salsas I differentiate are verde and roja (the cooked one). -- I never worry about diets. The only carrots that interest me are the number of carats in a diamond. Mae West |

At the refreshment table after Friday night services, they usually have it in a bowl and people sprinkle it on their fruit with a spoon. It is also next to the fruit on buffets in restaurants, but in a shaker. I never heard it called Pico De Gallo. I'll try to remember to ask what the locals here call it. > > From what I read here when thread after thread talked about Pico de > Gallo a few years back it's the same as Salsa Fresca.

One word, > "Salsa", covers a lot of fresh variations up here. The only > salsas I differentiate are verde and roja (the cooked one). Salsa means "sauce" and fresca means "fresh" so any condiment made with fresh veggies is a salsa fresca. I have never seen the term "salsa fresca" on a menu here. I have seen salsa fresca referred to as "salad" on a menu. Like the taco comes with "salad" which is usually Pico De Gallo. -- Janet Wilder Bad spelling. Bad punctuation Good Friends. Good Life |

Anything else is an imposter. Hell, in CA, even 7-11's typically have pdg in the condiment trays, always fresh. It's gotten so I can't eat a hot dog (chi-dogs excepted) w/o pdg. Made in pure form, pdg is a bit dry, as roma tomatoes don't have a lotta juice. Most of the juice is from a squeezed lime, but you don't wanna over do that, either. My solution for, say, a dip is to make the traditional pdg (mince), then take a small portion, puree it, than add back to whole mix. Both methods have their advantages, like the drier version for hot dogs. I've never added any spice to it, other than salt, the jalapenos being more than sufficiant. I'f I was going to, though, I'd add a bit of ground NM chile powder mix, mix being the powder reconstituted with water. I've had a lotta experience with the dry spice sprinkle mixes, too, but I've never seen one labelled pico de gallo. That's not to say they don't exist, just I've never seen one. I used to buy several brands at the Mex fruit stand around the corner. Love the stuff. I think it was originally for raw jicama, but works on most anything, like melons, avacadoes, etc. The two basic types are plain chile and chile with lime. It's mostly synthetic (yes, Mexicans use synthetics!) flavorings with a load of salt, but some are actually pretty good. nb |

Their price changed my mind. If I have leftover pdg that I will not use, I will freeze it, then use it when I make something like Spanish rice. Becca |
