I love to cook, but I am not a chef by no means. I do get a sense of relaxation though when I do create meals or snacks. I'm not necessarily a baker. That is my daughter. However, I will try anything that looks delish! I am good at looking at a dish I love and just taking the ingredients and recreate it on my own. I usually end up adding a little twist to it to make it more of my own. I also tend to get recipes from friends and store them in my kitchen drawer. I once won a dessert contest with a friend's Pina Colada cake recipe.
So, here is a pico de gallo dish I received from a friend. I had never tried pico until she made this and asked me to try it. I couldn't help to do so...it had lots of avocado! I do love avocado! :) So, I tried it and never looked back! Since it isn't one of my grandmother's recipes (in which I am sworn to not release) I can share the recipe. (All ingredients are chopped up)
 |
| Cabbage |
 |
| Tomatoes |
 |
| A bunch of cilantro |
 |
| Avocado (I always add lots) |
 |
| Squeeze in some lime |
 |
| Serrano peppers or any peppers you'd like |
 |
Crumble in La Vaquita (a fresh white cheese) and mix in and on top
Sprinkle in some salt to taste |
 |
| Voila! Pico de Gallo |
You can enjoy this on tacos or eat as a "dip" with chips! It is muy delicioso!! The amount of ingredients will depend on how many you are serving. I don't add onion just because it's a preference. However, feel free to add the onion. It will still taste great!
Off I am to enjoy my dish with family!
