Salsa

Times have changed. The word salsa used to bring to mind the classic mixture of tomatoes, chili peppers, onions and cilantro, served with tortilla chips for dipping. This is no longer the case. Salsas are now made from fruit, beans and vegetables. Salsa has found its place as the number one condiment in the United States. Salsa (meaning sauce) is of Mexican origin and made its impact on the American table through the food of the Southwest. While still popular as a dip, salsas can also be used as a topper for chicken or fish, or as a tasty addition to a wrap. There are even dessert salsas.

Salsas are popular due to an increased interest in ethnic and novel foods. People are now interested new and fresher tastes. Condiments do well to satisfy this urge, and also have the added value of providing flavor without fat or calories. Fruit and vegetable salsas are becoming more and more popular.
