Salsa (the yummy sauce, not the dance) originated with the Inca people in the late 1500’s. Salsa traditionally was a combination of chilies, tomatoes and other spices. Today~ however, the types and varieties of salsa are endless.
Mexican salsa can refer to pico de gallo – a fresh, uncooked condiment made from chopped tomato, onion, and sometimes chilies. There are red salsas (salsa roja, tomato-based), and green salsas (salsa verde, tomatillo based).
“Fruit” salsas are all the rage! Mango salsa, pineapple salsa and peach salsa are delicious! They make great appetizers – try them poured over cream cheese with tortilla chips or as sandwich toppers. They are even more delicious when they accompany pork tenderloin or turkey, broiled fish or grilled chicken.
Black bean and corn salsa is delicious with brisket tacos. Add mild green chili salsa to a vegetarian burrito for a wonderful twist.
