Eat: Pico De Gallo

In my opinion fresh salsa is practically perfect. The aroma of the cilantro, the citrus, the spice... I could go on. Pico De Gallo is ridiculously easy to make, and tastes a million times better than any store bought salsa. Homemade salsa allows you to control the amount of sodium you put in the side dish making Pico De Gallo heart healthy. 

I like to add celery to my Pico De Gallo because it ups the crunch, helping to satisfy my chip cravings.
