Quick and Easy to Make Radish Pico de Gallo
Salsas!
I don’t know about you, but salsas are pretty much so the center of my universe. I have a wee bit of an addiction to salsas, yes it’s true, not denying that one bit.
One of the best basic salsas ever is the traditional fresh tomatoes, onions, lemon or lime juice and cilantro. Well, for this recipe, I’ve done a little switcheroo and replaced the tomatoes with those little, peppery radishes. Therefore, I give you Radish Pico de Gallo.
Now if you’re not a huge fan of radishes, you still might enjoy this, as the radishes will take on the flavor of the lime juice rather nicely, so there’s no overpowering “radish”, peppery taste, only fresh and perfectly flavored.
If you need other salsa ideas, I’ve got plenty for you! My favorites include my Salsa Verde, Pumpkin Salsa and my recent Roasted Chipotle Salsa! All are so good, keep well and would be a brilliant addition to any Taco Tuesday or salsa bar.
Enjoy this Radish Pico de Gallo with your favorite tacos or over nachos or chips.
Yaasss!

And I don’t think I’ll put tomatoes in. What do you think. Put salt & pepper that’s it. That will go on as the topping. . I’m so excited. First time goin to make Mexican pizza. Fingers crossed. I made homemade beans. Which I’ll refriy Tom. Made my homemade enchilada sauce. I didn’t make homemade tortillas though. I wanted to. My heart was init.

Im thinkinng fish tacos….do you think this radish pico de gallo would be good on fish tacos?
Hi Rianna! I think that this pico de gallo would be beautiful on fish tacos 🙂
Love this recipe!! Have you ever frozen this?
Hi Corrie! I’m so glad you love this recipe! I have not tried freezing it before, so I can’t say a definite yes. I think you could experiment with it to see, although I would leave out the cilantro and then when you are ready to use, give a fresh bit of the cilantro to finish it off. I’ve never had enough left over to try … yet. 🙂
1/2 Red Onion, diced -No, used Sweet Vidalia Onion.
2 Spring Onions, diced-one was enough. Love those radishes. This recipe was so refreshing, yeah family only likes Sweet Vidalia or very little onion, the radishes really make this special, keeper, thanks for sharing.

Oh my! This is crazy delicious. And I hate radishes!! But they were in my CSA share 2 weeks in a row- and I was determined to find a tolerable recipe. Instead- I found this one. Way better than just tolerable!! This might be my go to pico de gallo recipe now.
