Sweet and Spicy Pico de Gallo (Whole 30)
I love salsa. So much. In fact, one of my favorie things in life is chips & salsa. Unfortunately I cannot have corn (meaning no tortilla chips – though the expensive Siete ones are amazing!), so any excuse to eat salsa and I’m sold! This sweet and spicy pico de gallo is a fresh, delicious salsa that has a hint of sweetness, and a kick of heat that you can adapt depending on how spicy you want it. OH and it’s super easy, just a bit of chopping.
Enjoy!
With Motivation,

Ingredients

- Dice up the onion and put into a large bowl
- Roughly chop the tomatoes, leaving out the fleshy inner part of the tomato and mix in
- Dice the jalapenos. I leave the seeds in one, and de-seed (cut out the seeds) the other. If you want a hot salsa, leave the seeds in both. If you aren't a fan or have little ones, you might want to de-seed both. Really the heat is up to you, but I recommend it to balance out the sweetness. Add to your mixture!
- Dice up the mango, and add in
- Roughly chop the cilantro and mix it in
- Juice the lime over the mixture and add in
- Grind in salt&pepper to taste (I used about ~1/4tsp of salt and about 1/8 of pepper)
