Easy Peasy Salsa Fresca (Pico de Gallo)
Pico de Gallo, AKA Salsa Fresca is made using fresh tomatoes, onions, coriander and lime...and usually chilli too, but I have missed the chillies out for this easy peasy, family friendly version. Serve with all your Mexican favourites, but especially good on my Mexican Pulled Pork Tacos!

Notes
In my version of Salsa Fresca I don’t use chillies, but if you like your salsa a little hotter try using ½ - 1 fresh chilli (e.g. serrano, jalapeño or habanero), deseeded and diced finely.
