Pico de Gallo: Fresh Tomato Salsa

This authentic pico de gallo is a vibrant, vegan-friendly salsa that brings a burst of zingy flavour to any Mexican-inspired feast. Made with sun-ripened tomatoes, crisp white onions, and a generous handful of fresh coriander, this raw condiment relies on high-quality ingredients to shine. The addition of lime juice and a hint of chilli provides a refreshing balance of acidity and heat, making it an essential accompaniment for dipping tortilla chips or topping grilled vegetables.

As a healthy, low-fat addition to your repertoire, this fresh salsa is perfect for summer entertaining or a quick midweek meal. It is naturally gluten-free and packed with vitamins, offering a much brighter alternative to shop-bought varieties. Serve it alongside tacos, stuffed peppers, or even over a simple baked potato for an effortless boost of flavour and texture.
