Pico is one of my favorite side dishes to make. It goes on, in or with just about any meal but is especially good with tex mex dishes.
6 garden fresh ripe red tomatos diced. If you have to get them at the store I like to use roma tomatos, to me they seem to have the best flavor. You will need to use more though because they tend to be a little on the small side.
1 large yellow onion diced.
1/4 to 1/2 cup of chopped cilantro (I like the flavor so i use plenty)
2 to 3 table spoons of finely chopped jalapeno peppers. I would not recommend using the fresh ones from the produce section they all seem to have a very bitter taste. The ones from a jar work just fine.
salt lightly to bring out the natural juices of the tomatos
2 table spoons of itialian dressing
Mix all ingredients well and refridgerate. This goes great on fajitas, tacos, and I put it in with the black beans while they are cooking. It is also great for topping a burger or chicken. I usually have to make a double batch because my girls attack it with a bag of chips before dinner is even close to ready.
