Thanks to the popularity of Mexican and Tex-Mex cooking, salsa has become a staple in the United States. Boulder County will celebrate salsa on Aug. 6 with a Chili Ole and Salsa Cookoff in conjunction with the Boulder County Fair. Anyone who is salsa-savvy knows that this yummy dip can be made at home from fresh ingredients. Salsa has replaced catsup as the most popular condiment in the world.
Salsa is more than just a dip.
It is spicy, fresh, chunky and low in calories. When it comes to today's culinary concerns, salsa pushes all the right buttons. Some salsas, however, taste better than others and some are just different. Keep both in the refrigerator. The fresh product could still grow bacteria, which can cause illness or even death.
