Salsa

Salsa is the starter at any Mexican restaurant. Sit down get chips and salsa. This Tomato Based Salsa Recipe is a very good reproduction of the typical restaurant experience.

Pico de gallo is a familiar table staple at all meals in Mexico. Made from chopped tomato, onion, cilantro, serrano peppers (jalapeños or habaneros are used as alternatives), salt, and lime juice. Other ingredients, such as shrimp, or avocado, are also sometimes added. Everything tastes better with Pico de gallo on it.
