What is the difference between a Salsa and a Pico?
Salsa is a saucy condiment that is often spicier and more seasoned, while pico de gallo is a less sauce-like and fresh-tasting condiment that is chunkier and typically milder in spice.
Strawberry Pico Ingredients
3 cups Fresh Strawberries – Clean them, cut off the stems, and slice. I would not use frozen strawberries since they are “wetter” after being thawed.
1 Lime, zested and juiced
4-5 Jalapenos – Clean them, clean out the seeds, and dice. If you would like more heat keep the seeds. For less heat, opt for green pepper.
1 Onion – Red preferred, dice into small chunks.
1⁄2 cup Cilantro, diced – I know cilantro is a love-or-hate-it type of food. So if you want to omit it, go ahead.
Salt and pepper – The salt helps blend all the flavors together and the pepper adds a little kick. Salt and pepper to your taste.
