While using similar and often the same ingredients, pico de gallo is going to be a chunkier version of salsa. Salsa is more liquid do to blending the tomatoes. Pico de gallo is not made in a blender or food processor and is made by dicing up the ingredients. Note: May substitute all garden-fresh ingredients with store-bought or canned. 15 ounces crushed San Marzano tomatoes (1 can) 4.5 ounces diced green chiles, mild, medium, or hot (1 can) Submitted by Pauline Webber
