Notes

Balance Flavors: Feta cheese adds a salty and tangy flavor to the pico de gallo. Adjust the amount of feta based on personal preference, as it can quickly overpower other ingredients. Start with less and gradually add more to achieve the desired balance of flavors.
Avocado Ripeness: Choose avocados that are ripe but still firm for this recipe. Overripe avocados can become mushy and lose their texture when mixed with the other ingredients. To test for ripeness, gently press the avocado near the stem; it should yield slightly but not feel overly soft.
Storage and Serving: Pico de gallo is best served fresh to maintain its vibrant colors and crisp texture. If preparing in advance, store the avocado separately and mix it into the salsa just before serving to prevent browning. Keep the pico de gallo refrigerated until ready to serve, and serve it chilled alongside tortilla chips for a refreshing appetizer or snack.
