I just want you to know how handy the photos are. For some reason I forgot to put the ingredients for the pork on my grocery list, bu I pulled this up on my phone in the grocery aisle, wasn’t sure what can of chiles to get, but hey, there was a picture to help me get just the right thing! Ain’t technology grand?

Thanks for sharing this recipe. I made it last week and plan to make it again! I LOVE this salad and must say your recipe yeilded a pretty good copy cat! I would use a little less vinegar in the pico next time, I used 1/3 cup. Other than that, this recipe was AWESOME! Oh, and I also had “light” mayo on hand instead of the real deal and it wasn’t noticeable at all. Thank you!

We made this for a big family dinner. It was fabulous!! Not a bit left over (I was very disappointed). We are making it again this weekend. Thanks for the great recipe.

oh yes, there is a green goddess dressing you can buy over the counter that’s close, if pressed for time. Add fresh cilantro and it’s all goooooood~

I’ve made this recipe about 4 times. Each time I try something a little different but ultimately the original recipe here is rock solid! A HUGE family favorite, my kids ask for it once a month at least!

One new addition, there are “fresh” tortillas in the refrigerator section that you prepare in a skillet…definately the way to go! They have whole wheat too!

This is the best recipe ever!!!! It is EXACTLY like Cafe Rio’s! Thanks so much.

Warning… it makes a ton of meat, we eat it for a week!

To make the pico de gallo more authentic though, there are no green peppers and you use lime juice not vinegar!
