Absolutely five stars!!! What a great salsa this is - the flavors marry together so beautifully. Be sure to heed the advice about good balsamic - I can see where it might be overwhelming if it doesn't have a mellow smoothness. I'll be serving this tonight over grilled boneless, skinless chicken thighs - but only if I can keep my spoon out of it! It's delicious with or without the avocado. Thanks so much for posting this great adaptation of the classic Aji. Made for My Three Chefs 2013.
