Pico de Gallo Salsa with Avocado

This is one of my favorite salsas. Its fresh, spicy and goes great on everything!

Ingredients:

5 small vine-rippened tomatoes, deseeded and chopped
1 large lime, juiced
1/2 red onion, chopped

1 bunch of fresh cilantro, de-stemmed and chopped
2 serrano peppers, de-seeded and minced
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 large avocado, chopped

1. Wash and de-seed the tomatoes. Chop the tomato and place in a large bowl. Add the onion, serrano peppers, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper. Mix throughly.

2. Add avocado and mix till combined. Cover and place in fridge for at least 30 minutes, so all of the ingredients can marry. Enjoy over eggs, with chips or anything else you want.

De-seed the tomatoes.

Add the chopped tomatoes to a large bowl.

Chop the red onion.

Cut the tops off the serrano peppers and cut length way.

De-seed the peppers with a fork.

Mince the peppers and add to the bowl.

Press the garlic down with the flat side of your knife. Makes it easier to peel.

Cut the avocado in half and score in cubes. Scoop out the avocado with a spoon.
