PICO DE GALLO
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

HOT DOGS WITH PICO DE GALLO
Tanya Sichynsky, a New York Times Cooking editor, tops salty, snappy grilled hot dogs with bright pico de gallo. Combining those two elements of fully loaded Mexican hot dogs makes these easy to cook for a crowd and tote to a cookout. You can prepare the pico de gallo early in the day and keep it in an airtight container until ready to pile onto the hot dogs, split to cradle the fresh filling. Be sure to keep the grill heat moderate. Too hot, and the hot dogs - and buns - will burn and dry out. Too cool, and they won't take on a smoky char.

Steps:
- Prepare an outdoor charcoal grill or a gas grill to medium heat. You should be able to hold your hand 5 inches above the coals for 7 to 9 seconds before it becomes too hot. Or heat a grill pan on the stovetop over medium.
- Make the pico de gallo by combining the tomatoes, onion, jalapeños, cilantro and lime juice in a medium bowl. Season with salt and mix well. Taste and add more lime juice and salt, if desired.
- Butterfly the hot dogs: Slice them in half lengthwise without cutting all the way through the skin, then open them so they sit flat. Place them on the grill, cut-side down, and cook until grill marks appear, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip the hot dogs and cook skin-side down until the skin deepens in color, 2 to 4 minutes.
- Meanwhile, open the hot dog buns and spread the mayonnaise on the cut sides, if you like. Grill, cut-side down, until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes, then flip and grill until lightly toasted, about 1 minute.
- Place the grilled hot dogs in the toasted buns, cut-side up, then pile the pico de gallo into the butterflied opening. Serve immediately, with any remaining pico de gallo on the side.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your pico de gallo will taste. Look for tomatoes that are firm and red, onions that are crisp and white, and cilantro that is fresh and green.
- Chop the ingredients evenly: This will help to ensure that all of the flavors are evenly distributed throughout the pico de gallo.
- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to chop the ingredients evenly and will also help to prevent them from bruising.
- Add some heat: If you like a little bit of heat in your pico de gallo, you can add a diced jalapeño pepper or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Let the pico de gallo chill before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together and will make the pico de gallo even more refreshing.
Conclusion:
Pico de gallo is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a way to add some freshness and flavor to your meal, give pico de gallo a try!
