Ingredients

2 tomatoes, seeded1 bell pepper1/2 cucumber, seeded1/2 onion1 ribs of celery1 clove of garlic, minced1 avocado2 T chopped fresh cilantro or parsley1 limes, with zest from one1 T. olive oilsalt and pepper to taste

Directions

Cut up the vegetables into uniform bite size pieces, and put into bowl. Do avocado last. Zest one of the limes, and add the zest to the bowl. Cut the limes in half for juicing. Drizzle the avocado with juice from 1/2 of one of the limes, to prevent browning. Put the avocado in the bowl. Juice the remaining limes over the vegetables, following with the olive oil. Toss together with cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste. Best if it sits for a couple of hours before serving. I serve along side grilled chicken with a lime-tequila marinade.
