The lime juice and oil will keep the avocado from turning brown, but it’s a good idea to make this pico de gallo recipe right before you serve it.

  • Yield

    Serves 8

Ingredients

4 medium Persian cucumbers, finely chopped
1 avocado, finely chopped
1 celery stalk, finely chopped, plus ¼ cup finely chopped celery leaves
2 scallions, green parts only, thinly sliced
1 small poblano chile, seeds removed, finely chopped

1 garlic clove, finely grated
¼ cup finely chopped unsalted, roasted pistachios
¼ cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons finely chopped mint
Olive oil (for drizzling)
Kosher salt
Tortilla chips or plantain chips (for serving)

Preparation

  1. Toss cucumbers, avocado, celery and celery leaves, scallions, poblano, jalapeño, garlic, pistachios, lime juice, cilantro, and mint in a large bowl.
