Pico de gallo is a fresh, chunky salsa of diced tomato, onion, chile, cilantro, lime, and salt. It tastes bright and lightly spicy with a crisp onion bite and juicy tomato pieces, and it stays relatively dry compared with blended salsas. Spoon it onto tacos, grilled meats, eggs, and rice bowls, or buy it in small tubs as a ready topping.\n\nIt originated in Mexico and spread throughout North America via taquerias and home cooking. Regional variations adjust chile type and acidity, and many markets make it daily alongside other fresh salsas.
