Absolutely wonderful! I made as written, except used 4 boness chicken breasts rather than the pork tenderloin given in the ingredient list. I'll make it over and over, since we live near family who grow avacadoes and we always need new recipes. I can't wait to make it again and invite them! (The salsa can also be used with many other dihes...perhaps adding lime or other experiments!)
