Ingredients
1 ripe, Fresh California Avocado, seeded, peeled and sliced into thick slices 2 Tbsp. Fresh lemon or lime juice 2 tsp. olive oil 2 medium vine-ripened tomatoes 1 serrano chile pepper, or more to taste 1/4 cup minced white onion 1/2 tsp. sea salt, or to tasteInstructions
- Drizzle the avocado slices with fresh lime or lemon juice and brush lightly with the olive oil. Gently place slices on grill over hot coals for 2 minutes on each side. Set aside to cool.
- Core and seed the tomatoes. Cut into ¼-inch dice and place in a medium bowl.
- Protecting your hand with rubber gloves, trim the stem, seeds and center vein from the chile(s). Add to tomatoes along with the minced onion and salt.
- Cut the grilled avocado slices into chunks. Gently stir into the pico de gallo and serve.
Variations: Jalapeño pepper may be substituted for serrano, or for a milder flavor substitute a little red or yellow bell pepper. Also try grilling the tomatoes, chile and onion before chopping them for more smoky-grilled flavor.
Serving Suggestions: Serve with warm tortilla chips or as a topping for grilled burgers, chicken or fish.
Beverage Pairings: Great with limeade or a frosty margarita.
*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
