More cooking: Pico de gallo

[elfs]

Getting more vegetables into yourself while also cutting back on the food budget can be a challenge, so my challenge for the weekend was to make home-made pico de gallo.

I used 1/2 white onion, 1 large tomato, and one seeded jalapeno, all diced very small. To that I added handfuls each of cilantro, parsley, and basil (because they were in the 'fridge and I had to use them up), juice of one lime, and salt and pepper.

There wasn't enough tomato to overcome the onions, but I kinda liked it that way. The basil and parsley added a wonderful smell to recipe, and it made just about the best relish I could imagine for a cooked sweet italian sausage lunch.

Replace the tomatoe with finely diced pineapple, and optionally mango, and you get a very good salsa/relish that they use in the carribean.
