Try this delicious cilantro salsa, made at home in minutes.

I’m getting a little adventurous in the kitchen these days. Trying things I’ve never made before. It’s a lot of fun. Especially when you end up with a really fantastic recipe. Case in point: Cilantro Salsa. Also known as Pico de Gallo.

Clean Eating Cilantro Salsa piled high in a clear champaign glass with a corn chip on top for garnish.

I went to the farmer’s market this morning and just started shopping for whatever looked fabulous.

As I shopped, I realized I was buying ingredients for salsa. Even though I’ve never made it before, I was definitely feeling up to the challenge. So I bought the rest of what I needed, went home, and got to work in the kitchen.

If you are a cilantro fan, this is definitely the salsa for you! Nobody at the dinner table could stop eating it. It was amazing! And it was gone before anyone could blink.

  2. What if I were to add shrimp and crab and lime and lemon juice, what other liquids would you recommend for me to make your cilantro salsa into the wonderful campechana that I used to get at Goode’s Seafood in Houston. Would be great since I left Houston 17 years ago.

      Ken – I would have to say a little tomato juice or sauce. Which one you use would dictate how thick the sauce is. I may have to come up with my own recipe for that. Sounds so good right now!
