I’m doing a demo for the Foreverwell program at the New Canaan, CT YMCA next week. Just a fun class, nothing elaborate, for seniors (of which I am one of course!).
The recipes will be for three “dips” or snacks for the summer, including this one for Pico de Gallo (Salsa Cruda) (Tomato Salsa).
Pico de Gallo
4 medium tomatoes, chopped
2-3 scallions, chopped
1-2 small chili peppers, deseeded and chopped
1 medium avocado, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, parsley or celery leaves
1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
salt to taste
Place the tomatoes, scallions, chili peppers, avocado, cilantro and garlic in a bowl. Pour the olive oil over the vegetables and toss the ingredients to distribute them evenly. Add the lime juice, toss again and let rest for at least one hour. Taste for seasoning and add salt as needed.
