Salsa is the Spanish word for sauce, but it does a whole lot more.
A good salsa will complement and catapult the most ordinary dish with sweet, tangy, fiery depth, and zest. It’s a delicious way to dispatch a seasonal bounty of fresh herbs, veggies, and fruit, and is great in just about anything, regardless of the culture or country of a particular dish. Fresh tomato salsa adds zing to panzanella; sweet corn salsa lifts chicken salad; roast pepper-tomato salsa sparks buttery sautéed shrimp.
