PICO DE GALLO -- A MEXICAN FRUIT SALAD
I spend 7 hours today serving this delicious salad at a fiesta fundraiser at my daughter's school here in California. Pico de Gallo is usually known as a type of salsa, but in this case, it is a popular fruit salad spiced with a red chili powder that is popular in Mexico. Sounds odd, but it's a delicious and addictive combination. You dice the fresh fruits into chunk size pieces and mix them together in any combination you like. Today, we combined watermelon, mango, pineapple, cucumber and jicama. I will list popular fruits and veggies that can go in it and you can customize your mix.

Tips:
- Choose the right jicama: Look for jicama that is firm and smooth, with no blemishes or cracks. The skin should be light brown and slightly translucent.
- Peel the jicama properly: Use a sharp knife to carefully peel the jicama, removing only the thin outer layer of skin.
- Cut the jicama evenly: For a uniform pico de gallo, cut the jicama into small, even pieces. This will help ensure that the flavors are evenly distributed.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your pico de gallo the best flavor. If possible, use ripe tomatoes, onions, and cilantro.
- Adjust the spiciness to your liking: If you like a spicy pico de gallo, add a jalapeño or serrano pepper. If you prefer a mild pico de gallo, omit the peppers.
- Let the flavors meld: After you've mixed all the ingredients together, let the pico de gallo sit for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will give the flavors time to meld and create a delicious, well-rounded dish.
