Pico De Gallo also called salsa fresca, is a fresh, uncooked condiment made from chopped tomato, onion, and sometimes chili’s.
Like any recipe using raw ingredients, care should be taken in the preparation and storage of salsa, since many raw-served varieties can act as a growth medium for potentially dangerous bacteria, especially when un-refrigerated.

garlic powder just a pinch * Salt to taste
