Mexican pico de gallo is a fresh, uncooked salsa made primarily with tomatoes, onions, and chiles. In his version, Food & Wine's Justin Chapple mixes the standard tomatoes, white onion, and jalapeño with pitted and chopped sweet cherries, bringing a fresh hit of sweetness to the sauce. This is excellent served as a dip with tortilla chips, but it would also be delicious spooned over grilled steaks, pork, or chicken.
