Pico de gallo makes an excellent salad dressing for the same reason it makes for an excellent salsa: It's an infusion of fresh, intense flavors that elevate every single bite of salad.
We recommend taking the extra time to make your pico de gallo from scratch. Not only is the recipe incredibly easy, it only takes about 15 minutes, but it has fewer preservatives than the store-bought stuff and you can really taste the difference.
The acid from the tomato-heavy condiment works particularly well with steak salads by providing a tangy contrast to the fatty steak. We also like to use pico de gallo to spice up salmon salads.
Pico de gallo, which loosely translates to 'rooster's beak' in Spanish, is rooted in Mexican cuisine so of course, we couldn't finish our favorites list without mentioning taco salad.
