Pico De Gallo
Pico de Gallo literally means ‘rooster’s beak’. No one really knows why it is called this, however there are a few theories. Some claim it’s due to picking at the salsa with your two fingers, like a beak. Others claim it’s due to the shape of the Serrano chile resembling a beak, or the sharp pain from a rooster’s beak, similar to the spiciness. A delicious salsa with equal mystery.
