Pastamore Avocado Salsa

Tomatoes make great salsa, avocados make great guacamole, but together they can also make a great salsa, too.  This recipe uses our Pastamore Traditional Barrel-Aged Balsamic Vinegar, and our Pastamore Fresh Jalapeno Oil can be added for some spice.  The balsamic in this salsa is used as an acidic touch in place of lime or lemon juice.  This is a quick salsa recipe that will bring a fresher taste to your dish than store bought salsa.

1 - ripe avocado
2 - ripe medium Roma tomatoes
1-2 tsp - Pastamore Traditional Barrel-Aged Balsamic Vinegar
