pico de gallo
Chunky Mexican condiment
Pico de gallo is a fresh Mexican salsa made from chopped raw tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and lime juice.
Unlike cooked or blended salsas, it has a chunky texture—the name literally means "rooster's beak" in Spanish.
Served as a condiment with tacos, chips, or grilled meats: The fish tacos came with a side of pico de gallo.
