Best salsa I can recall I'm still trying to replicate. It was at a family owned restaurant, available by specific request, and had a number things to set it apart, yet still was quintessentially salsa.
First off, the ingredients were not blended [as in Cuisinarted] together, but were chopped fine and folded in a corn starch-like clear thickening agent.
Second it mixed finely diced habanero and medium [between small corn kernel and large peppercorn sized] diced avocado to give a good bit of heat simultaneous with a creamy sweetness.
There was clearly very finely diced [rice grain sized] sweet onion, garlic and bell pepper in there as well.
Of course, there was fresh cilantro aplenty and some bright notes of citrus in the thickening sauce.
If I ever perfect it, I'll share. But suspect that the thickening agent is the result of some arcane slow simmering method/recipe rather any shortcuts with corn starch or somesuch.
