  1. You have THE best happy hour! I could eat this on three meals – eggs, sandwiches and salads! Great photos and recipe.

  2. Have to admit that you lost me at cilantro, but it sure does look beautiful! Of course, the chips look pretty darn good to me right now as well. (Are these the ones we can buy locally?) (I'm food obsessed, I think I need to go find some lunch.)

  3. What a gorgeous photo! Looks like it should be a work of art! And the salsa looks fabulous, making me want some right now – for breakfast!!

  4. So glad you enjoyed the recipe and thanks for the link. I think I need to make a batch now:) Lovely blog! Kindest Regards, Nicole

  5. I am thinking that this recipe for Pico de Gallo will work really well mixed with your Guacamole recipe. I am a fan of a chunky Guacamole, thus the idea of mixing the two recipes into one.

  6. 5 stars
    I found this recipe from your taco bar one, and I’ll never go back to store bought pico. This was amazing and so fresh tasting.
