Chop the cilantro. Place in a medium bowl. Roll the lime around while pressing down on it, then cut in half and squeeze the juice into the bowl with the other ingredients. This made about 3 cups.

You can top just about anything with it, try it on burgers! Amy -------------- If you fall down seven times, get up eight.

One of my favorite meals is chicken breast tenders topped with cottage cheese, pico de gallo and low fat cheese on the top, bake in the oven. It's very yummy and feels like I'm cheating, even though I'm not. -------------- Anni Never pet a burning dog.

But it is good mixed into eggs before you scramble them, also.... -------------- "Achieving worthwhile goals requires a consistent investment of time and effort on your part....The rewards you receive will be in direct proportion to the consistent effort you put forth."
