Medium salsa is a zesty condiment originating from Mexican cuisine, commonly enjoyed as a dip, topping, or ingredient. Typically crafted from ripe tomatoes, onions, peppers such as jalapeños, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, and a blend of spices, its flavor strikes a balance between mild and spicy, making it a versatile favorite. Salsa is naturally low in calories and fat, providing a healthy dose of vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and fiber from its fresh, vegetable-based ingredients. The lime juice and cilantro add refreshing brightness, while the peppers offer a metabolism-boosting kick. However, sodium levels can vary depending on preparation or commercial brands, so those watching salt intake may want to check labels. Salsa pairs beautifully with whole-grain chips, grilled proteins, or vegetable dishes, making it a flavorful way to enhance meals while maintaining a balanced diet.
