Easy Nutritious Avocado Pico de Gallo Recipe - #VidaAguacate

My mother has always had a very green thumb. At least as far back as I can remember. Everywhere we lived, after a few short months she would manage to turn our pretty green and standard yard–no matter how large or small–into a virtual jungle, full of rich smells and beautiful colors. And most of the time a lot of the matas that she would plant were ones that provided fruits or vegetables for our home.

There were the higueras that everyone envied. The orange and tangerine trees that neighbors would seek permission to pick every year when they were in season. And in Mexico, the aguacate tree she was so proud of! You see, not everyone could grow an avocado tree.

When this tree was brimming with ripe and firm avocados it meant that we’d have aguacate with almost every meal she prepared. There were slices on the side of our huevos rancheros in the morning, guacamole to go with our enchiladas for lunch, and pico de gallo with avocado stocked in the cooler for quick meals any time company would come over.

This last dish is one that’s now one of our favorites at home too. Anjelica makes hers with a few additional ingredients that turn this staple of Mexican cuisine into a great snack for any time of the day or night. For this collaboration with Avocados From Mexico, we knew it would be the perfect nutritious snack to share.
