A great pico de gallo, or salsa recipe full of freshly cut tomatoes and a few other ingredients is a must have in everyone’s arsenal. With chips, on warm crusty bread, spooned over freshly roasted fish, or tossed through a chopped salad for a no oil dressing, changing up the spice blend brings your salsa to another level. It will be hard to pick a favorite. Here are three great examples of a classic with Shabazi, a sweet smokey with Amber, and an earthly and floral Bombay. Make all three and let the heated debate begin.
