> Turning Classic into Creative with Salsa Mexicana!

 

Classic to Creative ~ There is a particular allure to the simple but magical combination of tomatoes, onions, garlic, chiles, cilantro – and sometimes a little lime juice and olive oil – that make up the classic salsa Mexicana (or pico de gallo, as it is known in the north of Mexico).

While the classic salsa remains most prevalent in Mexico and United States, there are many other varieties of salsa. To name a few; salsas verdes (green sauces) made with green chiles and tomatillos; fiery, smoky salsas made with chipotles (dried smoked jalapenos); and contemporary interpretations of classic pico de gallo that incorporate additional vegetables or fruits or well-seasoned black beans.
