Pico de Gallo- A Mexican Fruit Salad

It is often ordered as a salsa-like side dish or topping made of tomatoes, onion, chiles and cilantro, but others think of Pico de Gallo as a tart and spicy fruit salad. "Pico de Gallo" is also a brand of chile seasoning that is spicy and salty which can be added to the fruit salad. Tossed in lime juice, the fruits and vegetables used are commonly cantaloupe, honeydew, oranges, cucumbers and jicama. You can add additional seasonal fruits such as nectarines, mangos, papaya, kiwi or plums. While tomatoes, onions and chiles make a delicious Pico de Gallo, the fruit version is delicious too.
