How To Make pico de gallo salad
-
Step 1Cut ciabatta rolls into crouton size cubes. Place in a bowl and drizzle with melted bacon drippings. Toss well to combine. Place on baking sheet and bake 375° for about 20-25 min or till browned, stir after about 15 min.
-
Step 2Chop tomatoes into good bite size pieces. Chop onion and cilantro. Either thinly slice jalapeno with a knife or use the thinnest slicing blade on your mandolin.
-
Step 3After slicing jalapenos you can easily remove the seeds if desired to reduce the heat.
-
Step 4Place ingredients in a bowl and mix together. Add pickled pepper juice and mix well. Pat down to bottom of bowl and allow to sit for at least 15 min.
-
Step 5After salad has sat in pickled pepper juice for a while, dip out to serving plate with a slotted spoon, leaving juice in bowl. Top with grated cheese and croutons.
