Pico De Gallo...salsa...ceviche...call It What You Will. image

This is an awesome, fresh, healty mixture that is really diverse. I use it on grilled skirt steak or chicken tacos, I use it as a salsa for chips, and/or I add shrimp and serve it like ceviche. This is my default summer dish since it's so healthy and I almost always have the ingredients on hand. I served it at a party recently with shrimp in it and everyone loved it! Note: The amounts below are what I find to be a good balance of flavors, they don't need to be exactly these amounts.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. I always have a bunch of tomatoes in my fridge, and this is a great way to use them up before they go bad.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a little more cilantro. I love the flavor of cilantro and I think it would really enhance the dish.
