Leo's Pico De Gallo image

My good friend Leo first made this salsa for us a few years back at a party at his house. It is refreshing and easy to make. Leo doesn't measure anything when he cooks, so I had to guess the proportions. For best results the salsa should be eaten within 24 hours (not too difficult to accomplish) because the vinegar and citric acid tend to break down the vegetables. Use the freshest ingredients possible and serve with good quality tortilla chips.
