I make a big batch and keep it in the fridge for about three days. Any longer and it gets soggy. It is delicious on scrambled eggs or with turkey and avocado for lunch. It’s a great side dish with these Easy Five Ingredient Chicken Legs and rice. Here are some more ideas to make the most of your pico…

serve over grilled fish, shrimp, scallops or salmon
mix with diced avocado for a super quick guacamole
serve with grilled steak or chicken
mix into a frittata
mix into a green salad
add it to quinoa, couscous or millet along with feta cheese
use as a topping for a baked potato
use as a bruschetta topping
put on top of sauteed green beans
eat with a spoon?

The real trick to making the perfect pico de gallo is in the tomatoes. You will not get good pico without good tomatoes. I like to choose tomatoes that are firm and ripe – not overripe or they will be too soft. When preparing your tomatoes you must seed them to cut down on the liquid. Here’s a great link to show you how. Basically, I sliced them in half along the equator and squeezed them over a bowl. Easy peasy! Alternately some folks like to dice them, salt them and let them drain over a fine mesh sieve. Pick you favorite and get to it.
