Every Tex-Mex restaurant in Texas has its own homemade version of salsa fresca, also known as “pico de gallo.” Salsa fresca is made up of fresh vegetables, including diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, jalapeño or serrano chiles, lime juice and salt.This version, adapted from Austin’s Z'Tejas Southwestern Grill, includes both white and red onions, diced garlic and jalapeños that have not been seeded. Seed your jalapeños if you want to cut down on the heat.
