Apple, Pepper and Cilantro Pico De Gallo

What do you look forward to most about Summer? For me it is the beach. Even though we live 5 minutes from the ocean, and I go to the beach frequently,  I don't tend to go in to the ocean until Summer when it is warmer. So I am looking forward to surfing and boogie boarding and spending long days Summer days at the beach. That is why I tend to make more cold dishes. Jars are my friend. It is everything picnic here at the Silbaugh house! 
So today I bring you another cold dish. Don't be scared to blend these flavors. They were lovely! I am going to make this again the next time I make fish tacos, because the flavors are outstanding, and we all kept saying how great this would be on a fish taco! If you don't like spice, you can cut down on the jalapeno. It was the perfect amount of spice for us, but we are spicy freaks!
