Salsa

Salsa is a traditional Mexican sauce most commonly made from tomatoes, chilli peppers, onion, garlic, coriander, and lime juice. It comes in many varieties, from the fresh salsa verde made with green tomatillos, to the classic salsa roja, to fruit-based versions with mango or pineapple. It is served as a dip with tortilla chips, as a side dish with tacos, burritos, grilled meats, or fish. It can be made from raw ingredients or cooked for a deeper flavor. Salsa is an essential part of Mexican cuisine and has spread worldwide in many variations as a popular sauce and cooking ingredient.
