Ok, here we go with the salsa.  The ingredients you will need are:  cilantro (if you are one of those that hate cilantro, you can use parsley, flat leaf kind).  I like to use a handful.  I used 4 plum tomatoes in the recipe, 2 serranos, 1 clove garlic, 1/4 of a white, red or yellow onion, juice from 1/2 a lime or you could use lemon, salt and pepper.  

 

Step 1:  In a food processor or blender, put your cilantro, serranos, onions, garlic, lime juice, salt and pepper and blend until it is minced.  See Photo 2.

 

Step 2:  Add the tomatoes and mince again.  I sometimes add tomato juice, if it looks dry.  In this recipe, I added about 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of tomato juice.  That’s it, you have fabulous Pico de Gallo.

 

This salsa has 0 points.  You can use it as a salad dressing or a condiment.  If you are a “wimp,” you will have to seed and devein the chile.  I suggest you use rubber gloves and don’t touch any part of your body that you treasure!!!
