Salsa

Salsa is a tangy, tomato-based sauce widely used in Mexican and Latin American cuisines as a dip, topping or cooking sauce; it’s known for bright tomato, onion, chili and cilantro flavors and appears in many regional variations. Nutritionally it is low in fat and calories while providing vitamin C — about 10mg per 100g — plus some fiber and a small amount of protein. Overall it’s a nutrient-dense, flavorful condiment that can boost vegetable intake; do note that commercial varieties can vary in added salt, so choosing fresh or low-sodium options will keep it healthiest.
