NOTES :Pico de gallo is a very popular salad in Mexico. The name means
"Rooster's
beak" and refers to the old-style way of eating the salad by
picking up the chunks with the fingers. This resembles the way a rooster
pecks at his food. There are many versions of this salad and there are no
hard-and-fast rules to combining the fruits and vegetables
