Salsa
Simply meaning "sauce", salsa has come to characterize much of the Mexican food served in the U.S. Traditional versions are made from a tomato base with onions and peppers. Another traditional version uses tomatillos for salsa verde (green sauce). Some newer variations include ingredients like fruits, beans, and other vegetables like corn or cabbage. Serve with chips or other dippers, or use as a condiment on seafood, meat or poultry.

salsa tip:
Let the mixture stand at room temperature for an hour before serving. The flavors will meld. However, do not let it stand more than 2 hours or it can get watery as the acidic ingredients start to break down.
