Pico de Gallo

By September 1, 2020

Prep Tip: Tomatoes are one of the few fruits and veggies that still ripen after they are picked. The quickest ways to ripen tomatoes are to put them on a sunny windowsill, or store them in a paper bag on the counter. If you want to really speed up the ripening process, add a banana or apple to the bag and be sure to poke a few holes in the bag for air.

Change it Up: No tomatoes on hand? Use melons, mangos, plums, peaches, or cucumbers instead.

Nutrition Tip: A 1/2 cup of sliced tomato is a good source of vitamin C and vitamin A.  Vitamin C is good for growth and development and Vitamin A is good for your immune system.
