Hillary Rosen

Pundit Problemo Pico de Gallo

28 servings, 2 Tbsp. each

Stay at home and party with the neighborhood moms after work tonight.  Margaritas, anyone?

4 large plum tomatoes (1 lb.), seeded and diced

1/3 cup finely diced Bermuda (white) onion

1/3 cup finely chopped cilantro

2 Serrano peppers, finely minced

2 large cloves garlic, finely minced

¼ cup fresh lime juice

1 Tbsp. olive oil

½ tsp. black pepper

Salt to taste

Combine all ingredients in large bowl.  Add salt ½ tsp. at a time until you are satisfied with the flavor.

Serve with warm tortilla chips.

Tips:

How to seed tomatoes:  Cut in half and scrape out seeds with a knife or spoon.

For a nice touch, serve tortilla chips in a slow cooker set on LOW.  Your guests will appreciate the warm chips and the aroma will be intoxicating.

Jalapeno peppers can be substituted for Serrano peppers.

“This is not about Ann Romney,” Ms. Rosen said on CNN Thursday morning. “This is about the waitress at a diner someplace in Nevada who has two kids whose day care funding is being cut off because of the Romney-Ryan budget and she doesn’t know what to do.”   

"I apologize to Ann Romney and anyone else who was offended," Rosen said in a statement. "Let's declare peace in this phony war and go back to focus on the substance."
