Your ‘pico’ will keep in the fridge for 3 days in an airtight container. It’s fresh and perky on day 1, but also good on day 2, once the flavors have melded a little. It pairs with anything from the grill or barbecue, but also loves eggs, burgers and baked potatoes. Serve it simply as a salsa, or with anything that needs a kick…avocado toast, huevos rancheros or even your favorite pizza.
