<h2>How To Make Avocado Salsa</h2>
<h3>How To Cut and Peel an Avocado</h3>
You can follow these steps to scoop out the avocado flesh easily and mess-free.
<ul>
<li>Cut the avocado carefully lengthwise around the seed. Don’t cut through the seed.</li>
<li>Twist the avocado halves in opposite directions and open the avocado to expose the pit.</li>
<li>You can now remove the pit using a spoon or a sharp knife. Tap the pit using a sharp knife and twist it gently, applying a bit of pressure. Be careful not to cut your hand.</li>
<li>Or you can make another cut and remove the pit from a quartered avocado (which is much easier).</li>
<li>Make some cross-hatch pattern cuts in the avocado flesh; make sure not to break through the peel.</li>
<li>Start scooping from the edges using a spoon and gently work it between the flesh and the peel.</li>
</ul>
<br></br>
<h3>How To Make Pico De Gallo From Scratch</h3>
To make a classic pico de gallo or fresh salsa, you need fresh tomatoes, white onions, serrano peppers, cilantro, salt, and lime juice. 
You can chop it as chunky or as small as you like. Give it a quick taste and adjust the lime or salt. 
You can also use other chilis like jalapenos if you want a more mellow spice level.
