“Pico de gallo is just guacamole without avocado”

Pico de gallo usually contains chopped tomato, onion, cilantro, serrano peppers, salt and lime juice. Guacamole usually contains the same ingredients, plus avocado. “If I put avocado in pico de gallo is that guacamole? Pico de guaco?” was posted on Twitter by chellella on April 9, 2013.

Wikipedia: Pico de gallo
In Mexican cuisine, pico de gallo (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈpiko ðe ˈɣaʎo], lit. rooster’s beak), also called salsa fresca or salsa cruda, is made from chopped tomato, onion, cilantro, serrano peppers (jalapeños or habaneros are used as alternatives), salt, and lime juice. Other ingredients, such as shrimp, or avocado, are also sometimes added.
 
Wikipedia: Guacamole
Guacamole (Spanish: [(ɡ)wakaˈmole], see below for more; informally shortened to guac in English-speaking territories since the 1980s) is an avocado-based dip, spread, or salad first developed by the Aztecs in what is now Mexico. In addition to its use in modern Mexican cuisine, it has become part of international and American cuisine as a dip, condiment and salad ingredient.

Mexican food 101:
Pico de gallo is not a substitute for salsa.
Pico de gallo + avocado = guacamole.

It’s crazy how pico de gallo is all of a sudden guacamole as soon as you add avocado. That’s power.
