Salsas are dynamic combinations of ingredients designed to enhance flavors and textures. Each component should be cut uniformly and kept small for optimal mixing. Mixing various textures like crispy veggies and juicy fruits increases appeal. Bright colors are essential, making the dish visually inviting. Flavor should balance sweetness, saltiness, acidity, and heat to achieve a well-rounded taste. The featured recipe includes lightly poached shrimp and a combination of fresh vegetables for a nutritious, flavorful salsa served with tortilla chips or tostadas.
A salsa is much more than a spicy red or green sauce. Salsas are a dance of ingredients that collide and crunch in your mouth and pop with sweet, juicy, spicy flavors.
Cut and dice the ingredients in uniform size. Keep the pieces small to ensure that every ingredient is present in each bite.
Aim for a variety of textures, such as crispy vegetables, juicy fruit, leafy herbs even creamy beans. Choose bold and bright colors.
Most important, check the flavor boxes with a combination of sweet, salt, acid and heat.
