Directions
Usually this kind of fresh salsa is called pico de gallo, and its main advantage is less liquid within. Therefore, you can use this dip in more dishes. To make things more interesting and European-style, some basil was added instead of the traditional cilantro. Try to use more exotic varieties of tomatoes to make your salsa unforgettable. And you definitely won’t forget it, as it’s the great source of dietary fiber, very high amounts of vitamin C and vitamin A. You should consider this recipe as a part of your healthy eating.
