About Pico nicaraguense

Pico Nicaraguense is a vibrant traditional salad hailing from Nicaraguan cuisine. Typically made with finely diced tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, and a punch of fresh cilantro, it’s flavored with lime juice and a hint of salt for a zesty, refreshing taste. Often enjoyed as a topping for grilled meats, tortillas, or gallo pinto, Pico Nicaraguense embodies the fresh and bold flavors of Central America. This salad is naturally low in calories, rich in antioxidants from the vegetables, and provides an excellent boost of vitamin C courtesy of the lime juice and bell peppers. Its simplicity makes it a healthy choice, although those watching their sodium intake might opt for less added salt. As a plant-forward dish, Pico Nicaraguense aligns beautifully with heart-healthy and weight-conscious diets while adding a flavorful, nutritious touch to any meal.
