fresh pico de gallo

pico de gallo

in the past month, i've been back and forth across the country, stopped in the middle a couple times, popped over to london and now finally landed myself back in sweet brooklyn.  it's monday night and without a ton of energy to whip up something fabulous, i went for simple and flavorful in my version of pico de gallo. i like mine spicy and chunky but you can play with the flavors and the dice sizes to suit your taste. this is great atop a bed of fresh spinach, fish tacos or served with a side of crispy tortilla chips.



ingredients:

• 8 smallish tomatoes, tops cut off, diced thick
• 1 avocado, diced thick
• 1 jalapeno pepper (i mince it up and use about half the seeds, that's where the heat is)
• handful cilantro, chopped fine
• juice of 1 lime
• drizzle of olive oil
• dash of garlic powder
• salt & pepper to taste

once you've prepped all your ingredients, lightly toss together and taste to check your seasonings.  serve with... anything!
