piquant
Pronunciation: /ˈpēkənt, -känt
adjective
1 Having a pleasantly sharp taste or appetizing flavor.
1.1 Pleasantly stimulating or exciting to the mind.
Origin
early 16th century (in the sense 'severe, bitter'): from French, literally 'stinging, pricking', present participle of piquer.
Some describe Pico de Gallo as piquant, with a pleasant sharpness. Others will tell you they think, when you take a bite, it bites you back. It is the chili peppers which really make the dish distinct from the middle eastern "salad". Chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, lemon juice, done! Imagining the recipe prepared for lunch, piquant!
