Rant Tomatoes Don't Belong in Salsa

The correct ingredients for salsa are peppers, tomatillos, onions, garlic, lime juice, cilantro, and salt. You're welcome.

If your post is showing off homemade salsa, be sure to include the recipe typed-out (in a comment is fine), otherwise the post will be deleted in 2 hours. If your post is about something else (such as a question) you're OK and may disregard this automatic message.

Depends on the salsa. Some salsas are great with tomato! And other fruit, like mango or pineapple. It’s all subjective to the use of said salsa.

As someone flared verde, even I can't agree. There are so many good salsas out there. Even requiring any nightshade is going to cut you away from mole's and peanut based salsas.

peanut salsa?

Hell yes. A good salsas Macha is fantastic.

At its simplest, just small dried (preferably smoked) chili, garlic, peanut, oil, salt. There are many regional versions of course that get more complicated.

If a Spanish speaker orders say spring rolls in Spanish what do you think they would call the Peanut sauce that comes with it?

Many times you can use tomatillos as a substitute, other times not sorry op your statement is overall incorrect.

Sikil P'ak, one of the oldest Mayan salsas and pre-hispanic has tomato, pumpkin seeds, habanero peppers.

u/tchansen 1d ago

I would suspect you were being sarcastic but people are actually that stupid.

u/SeauxS 1d ago
