How To Make pico de gallo

Step 1

Chop your veggies, mix together in bowl & add lemon juice & spices. If you desire more heat than your peppers give you, add a dash of cayanne. Mix together, refrigerate.

Step 2

NOTE: I like to use a couple of green tomatoes whenever I can find them, and I prefer to hollow my tomatoes out and use only the outside, I don't like the mushy or juiciness from the centers.
Step 3

NOTE: If using fresh corn, cut corn off the cob and add right to the pico, same with pickled carrots.
