Salsa sauce

4 servings

35 minutes

Salsa is a fiery blend of roasted vegetables and spicy seasonings born from Latin American traditions but loved worldwide. Its bright, rich flavor unfolds thanks to sweet tomatoes, hot chili, and the freshness of cilantro. The light acidity of lemon juice enhances the natural aroma, while olive oil adds a velvety texture. This sauce perfectly complements meat, fish, grain dishes, or simply crispy tortillas. Salsa is not just a sauce; it's an explosion of flavors that makes any meal special. Essential for parties and suitable for both traditional Mexican dishes and modern culinary experiments.
