I’ve always used Roma tomatoes for Pico de Gallo. By using sweet cherry tomatoes it makes a big difference. 100% 💜💯
Thank you so much!! I’m so happy you liked that tomato swap too!
I would choose Italian seasoning. It is so universal across and around the world. It’s used from Italian cooking, to French Food, Spanish, Asian, South American, you name they use it. Very versetal it just goes with all above recipes. Thank you for doing what you do. It makes my life easier getting your recipes. Cathy
