I adore fresh pico with eggs, over chicken, or pork - it's positively superb with fish . It's especially fun made with mango or strawberries. ( this is great an ezekial multi grained tortilla crisped and topped with bit of turbinado sugar and cinnamon. My kids found that totally baffling. Try a serrano pepper for a different type of kick. Using a sweet onion helps with those who don't like zingy onion or secretly grating an onion will assist with kids who don't do onion at all .. like my daughter. I almost forgot garlic is astounding in a pico P.S. jalepeno grated in brownies is absolutely wow - probably not on your weight loss program, but keep that in mind another trick is to remove the vein and seeds using a plastic bag, then you don't risk getting the oils from your hands in your eyes.

Megin you don't know how much I needed that laugh. Thanks. And a favorite recipe post would be fun! Of course, then I'd be forced to choose a favorite. The pressure! Great idea to have the pico on chicken. I have been struggling to keep protein in the diet because it's so much easier to eat veggies and then save my points for the carb treats I seem to be addicted to. I can skip desserts fairly easily, but don't get between me and my rice or crackers! Karly, I've been eating the pico with the refried black beans (that also have jalapeno in them) or rice. Ooo, or avocado. Yummeh. The other night I served BLT's for dinner. I spread guacamole on a tortilla, then put in the pico, a lot of lettuce, and a slice of bacon. Oooooo that was good. ROFLOL.

I like it on tacos and enchiladas and burritos. And chips. And plain with a fork. Mmmm. I don’t have any low point ideas, but I’m also addicted to that Pico de Gallo.

Which is a very very funny image! We do quite a bit of Mexican-style cooking at home, burritos and quesadillas are common favorites, and pico would go perfectly with either of those. Also, there is a cheddar chicken ww recipe which is basically a chicken breast with a little melted cheddar on top, then a ton of warm salsa and black beans on top. Low point high flavor and homemade salsa/pico would work perfectly. Maybe we need to have a family favorite post that we can just add our favorite recipes to. Hmmm... Amy-

No, I haven't put it on eggs. Do you cook the beans at all or just throw them in at the last minute (I'm assuming you're using canned). I'm going to have to go find out how many points eggs are. Ooo!

Have you tried it with scrambled eggs? Add some cheese and black beans and you've got one of my favorite breakfasts. Congrats on your new discovery! Have you tried it with scrambled eggs?
