Pomegranate Salsa/Salad

Pico de Gallo de Granada was the name given by the Reforma newspaper in Mexico City to this wonderfully fresh and lively salad. (In the north of Mexico and in some parts of the US, pico de gallo refers to a table salsa, but in central Mexico it is the name for fresh fruit salad.) I could kick myself for not posting it before. At the restaurant we served it with grilled fish but yesterday I accompanied it with crunchy quesadillas with just a hint of cheese
