Here is another good one published by the Houston Chronicle several years ago
Texas' Best Pico de Gallo
3cups chopped onion (preferably Texas 1015; see note)
3cups diced, firm pink-ripe tomato
2avocados, diced (optional)
2teaspoons finely chopped serrano or jalapeño peppers (fresh or canned)
3tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
Juice of 2 limes
Salt, pepper and garlic salt to taste
Combine onion, tomato, avocados, serrano pepper, cilantro, lime juice, salt, pepper and garlic salt in a large glass bowl. Drain if too juicy. Refrigerate before serving.
Makes about 1 1/2 quarts. Use as a dip, baked potato topping, or as a seasoning for pinto beans, black-eyed peas or rice.
Note: Don't over-chop onion; it shouldn't be mushy.
