Maybe the shape of the fresh cut tomatoes and onions ?.. I agree with the salsa...but I always think of it canned..and Pico de gallo as fresh My sister is married to an Hispanic guy and she makes her own salsa...because he likes it flaming hot...when she has a party I always remind her to make the wimpy salsa for me My DIL was born in Mexico but came to the states when she was 3. She and her Mother became Citizens when she was 18. Her mom makes great salsa. She is also a type 2 diabetic..but is skinny. It runs in the family, her two sister have it too but they are a bit heavy.
