Actually, a true salsa is pretty smooth in texture, about the consistency of a milk shake, and is often cooked. Since this has finely minced pieces throughout and is not cooked, it would really be considered what is called a pico de gallo or salsa fresca. Chop the pieces just a little bit larger and you have a ceviche! This is great as a chip dip or condiment on burgers or in tacos.
