Fresh salsa, also called salsa fresca or pico de gallo, is a delicious combination of tomatoes, onions, cilantro, fresh peppers and salt. Traditionally, fresh salsa will include serranos or jalapeno peppers. In this recipe we skip the peppers altogether. We keep it fresh, simple and family friendly.
