Pico de Gallo Twists

Pico de Gallo is traditionally a Mexican topping for tacos or dip for tortilla chips. It’s really not that hard to make it. The basic way of making pico de gallo is combining chopped tomatoes, onions and chiles like jalapenos or serranos, a squirt of lime and seasoned with salt and pepper. Other variations include chopped cilantro.
If you don’t want to handle chiles but still want to have the spicy flavor, just sprinkle a few red pepper flakes on it.

Fish with Mango-Apple Salsa
The great thing about salsas is that they go with so many things. Though salsa has its roots in Aztec and Mayan traditions, it finds a resounding counterpart in the sauces and dips of Asian cuisine. For this recipe, we cook the “salsa” briefly while using the familiar Asian flavors of sweet and sour, to create a dish that’s light but gratifying.
