Oh, and click through to pic #3. There's a surprise there for you. - FFing Enigma

So, when can I bathe in this? EDIT: HOLY CRAP HE HAS A FACE - Mike Nayyar

I HAZ A DAVE PIC. - Derrick

Wow that looks amazingly delish! - BEX

I wish I liked cilantro. I'm a supertaster and to me it tastes like soap :( - Gunnybear ™

Take a bite of cilantro by itself and tell me it doesn't taste like soap. - Dawn

Ha! Gunny beat me to it. You're so right, Gunny! - Dawn

We made it tonight because it's better once it marries in the fridge for a while. I'm planning on setting aside a bunch and we'll have it with shrimp mixed in for dinner later this week. - FFing Enigma

DAVE EXISTS. HAI DAVE! - Jandy

LOL! He's a cutie, ain't he? - FFing Enigma

OMG that looks SO GOOD! - Lindsay

We couldn't resist: we ate about a cup of it right of the bat. Dave almost drooled into the big vat of pico... In hindsight, perhaps he should have, then we wouldn't have to share it! - FFing Enigma

DAVE! - Michelle M

tee hee - BEX

nom nom! - Bee

NOM...LOVE IT - Anna Haro

LOVE the pico. I can taste it all the way from here! And HI DAVE! - Josh Haley

Thus falls dead the rumor that I was married to a figment of my imagination... - FFing Enigma

cilantro rocks. - j1m

Dave looks like one of those morphs, of me and Worthington... you sure can pick em! ;) Yummy. The salsa, that is. I'm so confused... - Michael W. May

That looks phenomenal, Tina! - Mona Nomura

Nom!! - Ian May

If we ask nicely will Dave come say hello? - DGentry

Cilantro is apparently one of those things you either love or hate. I don't find it tastes soapy, but it's definitely a peculiar herbal flavor. And Denton, I'll ask him =) - FFing Enigma

awesome! i need a chopping block just like that built into my counter. - Carlos Ayala

Looks delicious. - Christian (Simply X)

whoa, that looks good! - vijay

Carlos, I really want butcher block counter tops (REALLY WANT). However, now I'm making do with this 2ft by 2ft rolling island with a butcher block top. Actual end grain wood, and the little hopper where you scrape the trimmings is amazing. We got it at Home Depot and they still carry something similar. - FFing Enigma

That would have been good with the carne asada I grilled last night. - Jeremy Brooks

oh that looks yummy! - (jeff)isageek

What a good use of plant based material in your diet! (Looks yummy) - susan mernit

When I get home tonight it'll be time to make guacamole. Mine is rather easy: smash up some avocados and stir in some pico de gallo. Done *drool* I'm not going to have room for the actual dinner we're cooking... - FFing Enigma

mmmm guacamole!!!! my wife makes some good guac...now I want some :) - (jeff)isageek

looks delicious - mikepk

Butcher block ain't cheap. And they take a lot of maintenance. Hello? Lazy? - Josh Haley

Actually, it's not all that bad, Josh. I priced it out and I can get 2.5 inch thick butcher block counters for less than granite. Apply tung oil on a schedule to keep it clean and stain resistant. If it gets burned/scratched/stained you just sand it a bit, apply more tung oil, and you're good to go. But this particular island? Less than $200 at Home Depot and it has a drawer, 2 shelves, and a rack on the side. Worth every penny. - FFing Enigma

O hai Dave! The Pico looks beautiful. So beautiful that I wouldn't want to eat it... for about a second. Awesome! - Jim the Blatant

Appetizing !! - Praveen Vasudev

Mm.. Yummy! - Neya

want some - Manuela

Yum! - David Cook

I see why this was so big now. Great photos! - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

That's looks good :-) - YoYo_P

YUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMM!!!!! - Susan Beebe

Oh my!!! Pico de gallo ... yes please :D - Brandon

Oh and HAI Dave!! *waves and steals the salsa!* - Susan Beebe

Your pico de gallo looks awesome! I've never made this much at home. - Ha3rvey (F please!)

That looks fantastically tasty! That's a lot of pico. We probably make fresh pico de gallo 3 - 5 times a week and we'd still never make that much of it. Will you guys eat all of it this week. - Anika

We made this for the cook out we had tonight. After sitting in the fridge overnight it decreased in volume by about a third, which is expected. The flavor is better too. Between the party and the guac I made, about a third of that is now gone. We're going to add cold shrimp to the rest and have that for dinner tomorrow: just a big bowl of it. - FFing Enigma

Show off! :D - sofarsoShawn <Oh HAI!>

Can you utilize a food processor, or is this a chopping only situation? - Eric - 100% Choice Cuts

:O what are you gringos doing? pico de gallo is not a salad! you're supposed to put it on your tacos... - Mario Romero

poor laowai - ocde.cn

Mario, we'll just call this gringa salad then =) And like Sean said, you can use a food processor for the onion and cilantro, but the tomatoes turn into mush in my experience. We like ours very chunky (as evidenced by the picture), so the smooth texture from the food processor doesn't work. - FFing Enigma

What does it taste like with the bell pepper in it? I've never had bell pepper in mine before. - Anika

I like adding them more for the crunch than for the flavor, actually. They hold up well to the lime juice and don't get mushy. A good flavorful bell pepper, though, adds a nice sweetness that offsets the tart and hot really well. - FFing Enigma

We don't normally use garlic in our pico, I think I will try it next time, though. - Michelle M

Normally we just do garlic powder because I'm lazy. But after all that chopping,what's a few garlic cloves? And truth be told, I put garlic in everything that's not a dessert or breakfast item. - FFing Enigma

Pico rocks - mjc

Tina, et. al. - Here's a good salsa recipe for you: Drain and blend a can of pineapple chunks with a couple of canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. Sweet, smoky and hot at the same time. Rocks with chips or on any kind of grilled chicken or fish. - Kevin (barely visible)
