What Is Pico De Gallo With Avocado?

Pico de Gallo with Avocado is a classic Mexican dip like salsa. It’s made with tomatoes, peppers, onion, and avocado. It’s often served with chips or as a topping for Mexican dishes. However, Pico de Gallo is thicker than salsa. That’s because salsa is blended and Pico is not.

Pico De Gallo With Avocado Ingredients

This recipe is made with 7 simple ingredients.

• Roma tomatoes – You can use cherry tomatoes also.

How To Make Pico De Gallo With Avocado

1. Prepare all ingredients. Cut all veggies about the same size. It’s ok if the avocado bites are a bit larger.
2. Mix all ingredients. Add all ingredients to a large bowl and toss to combine.
3. Serve with chips.

Recipe Tips

• Cut all ingredients to similar sizes. However, it’s ok if the avocado bites are larger.
• Squeeze lemon juice on your avocados after you cut them. Lemon juice keeps avocado from browning.
• Great ingredients are the key to making good Pico De Gallo with Avocado. Choose the best avocados and tomatoes.

How To Pick The Best Avocados

The best way to check the ripeness of an avocado is to peel off the cap. The small knob at the base of the avocado is the cap. If you see green under the cap then the avocado is ripe. Also, you can gently squeeze the avocado to see if it’s ripe. The avocado should be soft but not mushy.

Serving Suggestions

You can serve Avocado Pico de Gallo with Homemade Tortilla Chips or as a side with Lentil Tacos or Chipotle Sofritas. Add a scoop of Pico to salads like my Southwest Quinoa Salad or Taco Salad. I love it on vegan eggs. Finally, you can also add it to your sandwich or burger. Or just eat it by itself.

Storing Suggestions

Avocado goes bad quick and should be eaten right away. However, you can refrigerate it without the avocado. Then add it when you’re ready to serve it. Pico keeps well for 3 days in the fridge.
