Pico de Gallo

I LOVE salsa and pico de gallo so I knew that I needed to make some to go along with our New Years Eve menu. Pico is another one of those dishes that you really don't need a recipe for, but sometimes it is nice to have a starting point of ingredients. You can adjust any of the ingredients to suit your own tastes. There are so many uses for pico other than just as a dip. You can add it to quesadillas, nachos, tacos, burritos or anything else you like. You do want to plan this one so that you have at least 3 hours to refrigerate before serving to let the flavors really blend.
