What is the difference between salsa, picante sauce and pico de gallo?
The word “salsa” is the Spanish word for sauce. The primary difference between the three sauces listed above is the texture. Picante sauce is similar to a pureed sauce and is rather smooth. Salsa is semi-chunky in texture. Pico de gallo has uniformly chopped tomatoes and traditionally contains a greater percentage of peppers than salsa or picante sauce.
