Pico de Gallo is one of those side dishes that goes with anything and can bring something as boring as even a grilled chicken breast to life with just a spoonful.

It's one of those condiments that takes a little bit of time to make, so I'll often prep a batch of it and have in the fridge to use for the whole week.

Funny thing is, I find my family devours it long before I can even use it at times! So... if you want to sneak some veggies into your kids or your hubby, just make a big old batch of this and leave it in the fridge with some healthy chips and watch it disappear.

You can use any kind of tomatoes you like- either canned or fresh. I prefer to use fresh (especially the little "grape" kind if it's not tomato season) but the canned will certainly work if you're in a hurry.

Here's one of my fav. ways to use the Pico: To make a complete meal (low carb, and Optavia recipe friendly!) pair our Tex-Mex Salmon with our easy Pico de Gallo and a drizzle of lime crema. Serve with your favorite veggie side dish. This pairs well with a simple salad drizzled with Balsamic Mosto Cotto or cauliflower rice. These 3 together make for a lean and green meal you won't soon forget!

Happy Cooking!
