Happy July Fourth from CopperWood at Prairie Trail. Did you know that the original Continental Congress actually declared American independence on July 2, even though the final words of the Declaration of Independence had not been approved yet. Final approval came on July 4, which is why we celebrate on the 4th of July!

As we promised! Here's a recipe for your 4th of July celebration, fresh from our kitchen! Pico de Gallo! Use it as a fresh salsa with tortilla chips, serve it alongside guacamole or use it as a topping! All of your guests are going to love this. You'll need just 8 ingredients for this fresh and inviting taste - Roma tomatoes, onion (red, white or scallions), Jalapeños, Garlic, Cilantro, Lime, Salt and Cumin. Mix and match the ratios of ingredients to suite your taste. We prefer the ratios below: 3 cups of diced Roma tomatoes (or you can use plum tomatoes) 2/3 cup diced white, red or scallions (use white and green portions) 2/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro, loosely packed 1 to 2 jalapeño pepper(s), stemmed, cored and finely diced (you can use 1 poblano as a substitute for less heat) 1 lime, zested and juiced 1 teaspoon of course kosher salt 1 small clove of garlic (secret ingredient) 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin (another secret ingredient) Combine all of these ingredients in a large mixing bowl and evenly toss. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to three hours before serving. Reminder: Leftovers should be refrigerated and kept for only 2 days.
