Oh boy, this is a sticky one. pico de gallo is a salsa fresca, but all
salsa fresca isn't pico de gallo. Tell that to google, where every salsa
fresca recipe resembles pico de gallo. Salsa fresca is made with fresh
uncooked ingredients, but doesn't have to be the same ingredients as pico de
gallo. If you told your guests you made salsa fresca and it was more
particularly pico de gallo, I'm certain they would not start hitting you
with their zapatos!
