The answer
SALSA
What salsa means
A spicy sauce made from tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and chili peppers, commonly served as a condiment with Mexican or Latin American food.
Where the word comes from
Salsa comes from Spanish salsa, meaning "sauce." The Spanish word derives from Latin salsa, the feminine form of salsus, meaning "salted" or "salty." The root is the Latin sal, meaning "salt." The modern condiment and dance style both took their English name from the Spanish word in the mid-20th century, though the sauce itself has roots in pre-Columbian American cuisine combined with Spanish culinary traditions.
