Salsa
 
 
 


Salsa is the Spanish word for sauce. In America, it is a generic term that refers to a large, diverse group of chunky, usually highly seasoned mixtures. Salsa has become a staple in America due to the popularity of Mexican and Tex-Mex cooking. This cooking popularized salsa cruda, an uncooked salsa made from tomatoes and chili peppers. Salsa verde is a green salsa made from tomatillos, green chilies and cilantro. Salsas can be made at home from fresh ingredients or purchased. They are used as a dip for chips, an ingredient for recipes and as a topping for tacos and burgers. Trendy salsas based on fruits (such as papaya, mango and peaches), corn, black beans and vegetables are gaining in popularity.
