This easy pico de gallo recipe is a classic for good reason. It pairs with just about everything! My tip is to let it chill for an hour or two before serving to help the flavors blend. Also, it's best to serve it the same day that it's made. -Jeannie Trudell, Del Norte, Colorado

This jicama fruit salad is also known as "pico de gallo" in Mexico. Not to be confused with the other pico de gallo, which is a savory salsa. This salad is very refreshing and very forgiving. Any fruits can be added but the original vegetable in this salad is always jicama.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ingredients: Use fresh, ripe vegetables and fruits for the best flavor. Look for firm, brightly colored tomatoes, onions, and cilantro. For the jicama, choose one that is smooth and free of blemishes.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you get clean, even cuts on your vegetables and fruits. This will make your pico de gallo look more appealing and taste better.
  • Chop the ingredients evenly: The ingredients in your pico de gallo should be chopped evenly so that they all cook evenly. This will also help you get a more consistent flavor throughout the dish.
  • Add the ingredients in layers: When you are layering the ingredients in your pico de gallo, start with the tomatoes, then the onions, then the cilantro, and finally the jicama. This will help the flavors to meld together and create a delicious dish.
  • Chill before serving: Pico de gallo is best served chilled. This will help the flavors to develop and will make the dish more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Pico de gallo is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, a side dish, or a condiment. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its fresh, vibrant flavors, pico de gallo is a great way to add some Mexican flair to your next meal.
