chunky salsa

Lumpy tomato condiment

Chunky salsa is a variety of salsa that hasn't been blended smooth—the tomatoes, onions, and peppers remain in visible pieces.

The distinction from regular salsa matters mainly in marketing and restaurant menus: Do you want smooth or chunky salsa with your chips?

The chunks provide more texture and a fresher taste.
