Pico de gallo means 'peck of the rooster' in Spanish and the name refers to the fresh ingredients. It works great as a dip for chips and is my favorite as a condiment for homemade chili. This would be an excellent, easy-to-make dip for holiday parties. A few small jars of this would make excellent last minute Holiday gifts.

This fresh dip will keep around 3 days if kept refrigerated.

You may need 6-8 tomatoes.
