SALSA BANDERA

Salsa Bandera image

This is how I make my salsa for our family "Carne Asada." Americans call it "Pico de Gallo." Pico de Gallo in México, is actually a fruit salad (all fresh), drizzled with fresh lime juice and powdered chile. Salsa Bandera (as in Mexican flag), is easy to make and very tasty!!
