Pico De Gallo Recipe as an Appetizer

This was an accidental find, the Wheat Thin Toasted Pita chips have just the right amount of salt on them to accentuate all of the flavors of the Pico De Gallo.

It is wonderful! My parents couldn't get enough of this appetizer.

Adding the Pico De Gallo to your salad will spice it up a bit. AND because there are juices from the lime combined with the jalapeños and

tomatoes so there is no need for a dressing of any sort! Healthy, spicy and light makes the perfect summer salad!
