What is salsa? Salsa is the Spanish word for sauce, and in many English-speaking countries it often refers to the sauces that are typical of Mexican cuisine, particularly those used as dips. Different types of salsa are usually tomato-based, although many are not, and they are typically piquant, ranging from extremely mild to extremely hot. Mexican salsas were traditionally produced using the mortar and pestle-like molcajete, although blenders are now used more often. The Mayans also made salsa using a mortar and pestle.
Some well-known different types of salsas include:
* Salsa roja, which is a red sauce. It usually includes chili peppers, garlic, cooked tomatoes, onion, and fresh cilantro. This is the classic mild salsa dip.
* Pico de gallo also known as salsa fresca is made with raw tomatoes, cilantro leaves, chili peppers, lime juice, onions, and other chopped raw ingredients.
* Salsa cruda is an uncooked mixture of tomatoes, jalapeño peppers, onions, and cilantro.
* Salsa verde is made with tomatillos, usually cooked.
* Salsa negra is a Mexican sauce made from dried chilis, oil, and garlic.
* Guacamole is thicker than a sauce and usually used as a dip. It refers to any sauce in which the main ingredient is avocado.
* Mole is a Mexican sauce made from chili peppers mixed with unsweetened chocolate, almonds, spices, and other ingredients.
* Mango salsa is part if different types of salsa that use a spicy-sweet sauce made from mangoes, and is often used as a topping for nachos. It is often also used as a garnish on grilled chicken or grilled fish due to the sauce’s complementary flavors.
