Pico de Gallo [Vegan]

Pico de Gallo is the perfect sidedish for any Mexican feast, regardless of whether or not the meal is vegan, vegetarian or contains meat. 

Generally capsicums (bell peppers to the Americans) are not used in pico de gallo, but being the capsicum fiend that I am, they always find their way into any Mexican dishes I make. 

The beauty of pico de gallo is that you can adjust the measurements of each ingredient to suit your tastes. You might like more onion and less jalapenos. Play around and experiment with different variations. Each time you eat it will be a surprise for your taste buds.

Pico de Gallo takes me back to the afternoon I spent in Tijuana, back in late 2010, drinking 2-for-1 margaritas and enjoying the regional cuisine. If I could relive that day or simply eat Mexican food for the rest of my life, I would be a happy woman.
