What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Palatable Possibilities: Orange-Tomato Pico de Gallo! Chunky sauces and relishes make a wonderful addition to any meal, in my opinion. First of all, they can be substituted for a vegetable side dish. They also serve as a nice condiment for stuffing into tacos or for sharing a plate of scrambled eggs. The vibrant colors will even catch the eye of a fussy-eater, if you know what I mean. Pico de Gallo compliments seafood, pork, chicken, and beef as well as any vegetarian star attraction. Better make a batch for dinner tonight. Itβs a healthy option you can thank me for later.
ORANGE-TOMATO PICO DE GALLO
Ingredients:
4 navel oranges, peeled and chopped
2 tomatoes, diced
1 cup red onion, roughly chopped
1 jalapeΓ±o pepper, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons orange peel, grated
Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions:
In a bowl, combine chopped navel oranges, diced tomatoes, roughly chopped red onions, and finely chopped jalapeΓ±os. Toss gently. Sprinkle with kosher salt, garlic powder, ground ginger, grated orange peel, and chopped cilantro. Stir gently to combine thoroughly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for one hour. Serve with tortilla chips.
Thank you, Gail, it is indeed a beautiful and delicious salad!
