salsa fresca

Raw tomato dip

Salsa fresca is a Mexican sauce of chopped raw tomatoes, onions, chilies, cilantro, and lime juice—fresh ingredients that distinguish it from cooked salsas.

The name means "fresh sauce" in Spanish.

Also called pico de gallo: I'll have the tacos with salsa fresca on the side.
