Answer 1

Pico de gallo, also known as salsa fresca, is a fresh condiment commonly used in Mexican cuisine. While the ingredients can vary slightly by region or personal preference, the traditional components typically include:

1. Tomatoes (fresh, diced)
2. Onions (usually white or red, finely chopped)
3. Cilantro (fresh, chopped)
4. Lime juice (to add acidity)
5. Jalapeños or other chili peppers (finely chopped, for heat)
6. Salt (to taste)

So, while it does include uncooked onions and peppers, it is not limited to just those ingredients; tomatoes and lime juice are also key components of pico de gallo.

Answer 3

Yes, all the ingredients in pico de gallo are typically used raw and uncooked. The freshness of the ingredients is what gives pico de gallo its bright flavor and vibrant texture. This contrasts with many other types of salsa, which may involve cooked ingredients. In pico de gallo, the diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, jalapeños (or other peppers), and lime juice are combined without any cooking involved.
