Meh. I would give it 2-1/2 stars. It had too much onion in it, and i like onion. but this was just too much in ratio to the rest. I think this would be better if you either grilled the onion too, or cut the amount in half. Other than that, this is a very green tasting salsa, definitely would be best with meat, fish or eggs.
