Mom Tips

Salsas serve both as a sauce and as a side dish. They are made from chopped vegetables and fruits.

They can also be served simply with toast, with chips, corn tortillas, etc.

Tomato salsa accompanies grilled meats in general.

Avocado and Mango salsa goes well with chicken and fish, grilled or cooked.
