VIDEO Kidney Friendly Pico de Gallo: Adios tomatoes!

Low Potassium, Pre-Dialysis, Printable Recipe, Renal Diet Recipes, Snacks, Vegetables, Videos

Zesty, colorful, delicious Pico de Gallo, kidney friendly style!

A orange trimmed, white interior bowl filled with multi-colored pico de gallo sits in upper left half of the picture. Limes, cilantro, and a red pepper are scattered around the bowl which sits atop a white and green striped cloth. A light blue bowl of yellow and blue corn chips sneaks out of the top right corner.

This is our second go at kidney friendly pico de gallo.  I didn’t look at any recipes when I made the first one.  Check out the original recipe here. I just always happen to have peppers and jicama at my house (doesn’t everyone?) and thought they would work together.  They did.  This time around I added about 3-4 cloves of garlic and a touch of salt (it needed it!).  We love making simple recipes that work for the renal diet (or really any diet).  We had friends over the day after made this and I had LOTS of compliments about this pico with its peppery crunch and fresh cilantro bite.  Definitely a winner whether or not you’re cooking for kidney disease.

A blue corn tortilla chip sits front and center topped with a heap of multi-colored pico de gallo. A blue patterned bowl and red pepper are blurred in the background with a green and white stripped cloth underlaying all the deliciousness!

The ingredients in this recipe are very flexible to taste. Some people prefer slightly more lime or a touch more sugar. You can also add a jalapeno, red pepper flakes, or hot sauce for a little heat.
