Avocado Pico di Gallo

Here's one of my favorite Southwestern condiments:

2 large tomatoes, seeded and diced

1/2 red onion, diced

1/4 cup olive oil

3 T lime juice

minced hot pepper

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

salt & pepper to taste

one avocado, diced

Toss first six ingredients in a bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add avocado just before serving. For the minced hot pepper, I use something from the garden: a few jalapenos or just one habanero. Adjust to your taste. It goes well with chips or as a side condiment to other Southwestern-style entrees.
