Pico de Mayo!


High price of tomatoes got ya down? No problem. This Cinco de Mayo, I made two different types of tomato-less Pico de Gallos to accompany my Alder Planked Halibut Fish Tacos.

Pineapple Pico de Gallo
Pineapple: 2 cup, diced

Red Onion: 1 cup, diced

Cilantro : 3 Tbs., fresh minced
Serrano Peppers: 1 pepper, minced.
Juice of one lime

Green Onion: just a sprig or two for garnish


Strawberry Salsa Fresca

Strawberries : 2 cups, diced
Juice of one lime
Walla Walla Sweet Onion: 1 cup, diced

Jalapeño Pepper: 3 Peppers, diced

Cilantro: 3 Tbs., fresh minced


Tip: For all of you heat junkies, leave the seeds in the Jalapeño/Serrano peppers to give these salsas the extra BTU’s (piquance) you’re looking for.

The directions are the same on both of th
ese recipes: Chop everything up, toss with lime juice and enjoy with tacos, fajitas, or corn chips!



Welcome to your weekend. Ole!

  1. Oooh, the pina salsa is especially good on alder planked salmon and other white fish (hint, hint). Strawberries or tomatoes would be good in that one too!

    I can't wait to see what your blog topic will be for this coming December. Feliz Navidad!
