Pico de gallo

Pico de gallo, also called salsa fresca or bandera, is a combination of diced tomatoes, white or red onions, and cilantro that is found in numerous items at some Mexican restaurants, such as Taco Bell. Items found in some restaurant menus have cheese and/or sour cream will be replaced with pico de gallo. Pico de Gallo is a type of salsa commonly found in Mexican food.  I like to share this easy pico de gallo to serve as a side dish, and it goes well with fried fish, chicken, or shrimp. I like to top it with salad.
