Argentinian cuisine favors less of the spicy heat than many of its neighboring countries. This pre-Hispanic salsa reflects that by using fresh red bell peppers, even though its Mexican twin uses jalapeno peppers.
Ensalada Criolla- Argentinian Tomato Salsa
This Argentinian salsa is present at most Asados (barbeques) in Argentina. Its tangy crunch serves as a wonderful counterpoint to charred meats. Serve it as a dip for chips or as a side to grilled meats and poultry.
