you say pico de gallo…I say pico de ghassan

This is my mediterranean version of the traditional pico de gallo…I add arugula sumac n pomegranates yes! you have to have to have to make this! It’s super simple w so much flavor n texture…I use lemon juice vs lime n just add cayenne to heat it up. Here it is…

finely chop/dice the following n transfer to medium bowl

2 small or 1 large tomato
1/4 red onion
1/4 bunch cilantro
1/2 large or 1 small avocado (make sure not too ripe u don’t want it mushy)
large handful of arugula

add the following to bowl

the berries from 1 small or 1/2 large pomegranate
juice of 1 lemon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sumac (for extra tang)
sprinkle of cayenne little or a lot depending on how hot u want it (u can also use jalapeno finely chopped)

gently stir taste add more heat salt or lemon juice if needed depending on how u like it

I enjoy this delicious concoction w my favorite chips…Have’a Corn Chips u can find them at Sprouts market…they come from California 🙂 happy chips come from there
