Pico de Gallo sauce is a traditional Mexican cold sauce, sometimes called simply Salsa (which means sauce in Spanish). Pico de Gallo is served separately - as an appetizer or salad, as well as as a side dish to such wonderful Mexican dishes as fajitos, tacos, etc. Pico de Gallo translates as the beak of a rooster, and indeed - this sauce has a fresh, rather intense, piquant taste - an indispensable seasoning for lovers of spicy, although you can make it not so spicy - if desired. Also traditionally - in Mexican dishes, this sauce is served in combination with sour cream and black bean pasta, which neutralize the sharpness of the sauce and make the "arrival" of sharpness in the mouth - gradual.
