Salsa

Salsa commonly refers to a spicy, tomato-based hot sauce that’s used in Hispanic cuisine and as something used in dips.  This is the basic foundation of salsa throughout the world.  It changes slightly in other parts of the world, but it pretty much keeps the same look. Mortars and pestles were used to create salsa years ago.  In modern times, blenders have come up to take over as the main device to produce salsa.
Some of the main kinds of salsa include salsa roja (red sauce), which is made with fresh cilantro, garlic, onion, chili peppers, and cooked tomatoes.  Salsa cruda (raw sauce), also known as pico de a gallo, is a raw version of salsa roja with the addition of lime juice.  Salsa verde (green sauce) is like salsa cruda and salsa roja, except it’s made with green tomatoes called tomatillos.  Salsa negra (black sauce) is like all of the others, but it’s made with darker chilis.
The tomato base is versatile enough to allow you to add anything to it you want.  If the flavors blend together, you have an excellent candidate for a salsa.  Don’t think you have to keep to the conventional method of making salsa.  Experiment and go down paths people have never ventured down.  Salsa is the perfect type of sauce you can do this with.  Trial and error could lead to you crafting the best salsa ever.  You never know until you put the ingredients together, grab your favorite kind of chips, and dive in.
