In Spanish and Italian languages salsa means sauce, but in the English-speaking world salsa is the spicy Mexican sauce made of tomatoes and hot peppers. The salsa can be cooked or fresh. The fresh salsa is more common in Mexico, while the cooked salsa is very popular in North America. The cooked salsa has different varieties, such as roasted, fire grilled, salsa verde and so on. Canned salsa can be found in most grocery stores.
