Salsa has been a staple in my kitchen for a long time. After all, I grew up in South Texas where salsa appears almost everywhere. My favorite, though, has always been pico de gallo, also called salsa fresca or “fresh salsa.” Unfortunately, I don’t get around to making it very often, even though it’s ideal for a healthy gluten-free diet.

As a result, when my son shared some of his freshly made batch with me last week, I couldn’t help but want to share it with you!

He served his on top of some black beans with crisp tortilla chips on the side. Here is his Pico de Gallo recipe. Mmmmm, delicious!
