Eggplant avocado salsa

I love salsas. The other time I visited the market I bought some ripe avocados. In my fridge, one eggplant was sitting for some time. I had initially planned to roast it. However, after getting the avocado, I decided to make a salsa adding the roasted eggplant in it. Not a big fan of raw onion and garlic, I decided to fry them a little. It was fresh and vibrant. The saltiness of the roasted eggplants well complemented the buttery avocados, and the hint of tart from tomato was just perfect to cut through the richness of other flavors.
