Pico de gallo has got to be one of the most popular salsas outside of Mexico. In Mexico, we also like to call it salsa Mexicana, since it has the colors of the Mexican flag: green, white, and red. This salsa is often used with grilled chicken and grilled or fried fish. Its ingredients are also commonly found in many seafood cocktail recipes. These days, some cooks customize this salsa by adding pineapple or mango, along with other peppers, like habanero.
