Salsa is fruit salad.
Not salad, salad is something you can "toss" in a jumble, like popcorn or some kinds of hash browns.
Salsa is generally more thoroughly mixed than that, so smoothie or maybe soup.
Hash browns are salad, confirmed.
Nah, this is just objectively wrong. Even if you think of tomato as a fruit, what else is a fruit in typical salsa? Nothing.
Not a staple where I'm from, but aren't there japalenos in there? Bell peppers ?
Awww shit. I dun fucked up. Apparently all peppers are fruits, botanically speaking.
"Vegetables" are not A Thing. The word just means a part of a plant we eat as a savoury dish. Some are seeds (like peas), or pods with the seeds still inside (green beans), or leaves (spinach, chard), roots or kinda-roots (carrots, garlic, beets), or (baby) flowers (cauliFLOWER, broccoli, Brussels sprouts - all from the same recent cabbage ancestor), lots are fruit (pumpkin, zucchini, cucumber, peppers, tomatoes). I found it fascinating when I planted my first garden 5 years ago, knowing squat about nature. Veggies are just plants where your pick the good part.
How are you defining a savoury? As a taste like sweet, salty, savoury, etc? Plenty of sweet (and salty, bitter and sour) dishes made with vegetables.
New York City?!
Pico de gallo maybe
I've never had a fruit salad with the consistency of salsa, but I see where you're coming from. They are very close relatives.
Salsa is a spicy smoothie
