Notes
Pico de gallo is generally known as a fresh condiment made from chopped tomato, onion, and chiles (typically serranos or jalapeños). Other ingredients may also be added to the salsa, such as lime juice and chopped cilantro leaves. Many grocery stores carry ready-made pico de gallos in the refrigerated section. Check labels to make sure sodium content is low. A good rule of thumb: Per serving, number of milligrams of sodium should be less than number of calories.
To toast cumin seeds, place them over high heat on the stove in a small heavy skillet. Toss them frequently until fragrant, about two to four minutes.
