Salsa Recipe

Salsa is a spicy, often tomato based, hot sauces typical of Hispanic cuisine, particularly those used as dips. A salsa is always made of raw ingredients. A special care should be taken in the preparation and storage of salsa, since many raw-served varieties can act as a growth medium for potentially dangerous bacteria, especially when unrefrigerated.
