Now instead of talking about them, just start making them, you’ll see what I mean pictures speak more than a thousand words on this recipe.  Company? I got you covered “chips and salsa”. I made a Cucumber-Avocado Pico de Gallo, it’s refreshing and a cross between your regular Pico and Guacamole.  I’m sharing my salsa tips with you.
