Is Salsa a Vegetable? Why or why not.
(hexbear.net)
Salsa is a spicy fruit salad.
So I can put marshmallows in it then
yeah find a mango salsa recipe and replace the mango with mini marshmallows and you've got yourself a solid contribution to the reader's digest recipe section
they don't know tomato isn't a vegetable 
Salsa is Spanish for sauce. So, it’s a sauce.
At what point does a tomato cease being a vegetable and become a sauce.
Well, it's a fruit, so never.
it's a fruit botanically but it can still be a veggie
Pretty sure it only becomes a vegetable when made into ketchup.
when you crush or puree it to a sauce like consistency
But at what point does it go from one to the other. How many seconds of blending or crushes before it's no longer tomato and is now sauce.
About half a second or 3-5 pulses, you're welcome
Oh that makes sense thank you
no it's a soup
There has to be a limit on how much of a process something can go through while still being considered a vegetable, otherwise meat is vegetable.
Checkmate vegans your beef is made of water sun and grass so it's vegan 
(This is a joke don't ban me)
Vegetable is a culinary term that doesn't follow strict guidelines but is commonly understood
yes
Salsa is a garnish
White man spotted
It’s not a vegetable, but it is made of (mostly) vegetables.
I second this!
Nope, it's a dance.
Ole!
botanically or culinarily?
In my tummilarily
It doesn't grow on a tree, so it's not a fruit.
Unlike pineapple, watermelon, banana, strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, prickly pears, cantaloupe, honeydew, and many others.
Or the popular fruits: cinnamon, cork, or leaves
It's fruit salad
Yes of course, there's nothing in it but vegetables
there's also love
that's only if it's homemade
It's a mix of vegetables (which have no clear definition according to one funny video and no further personal research) and other stuff.
Is a car a metal? Is a pillow a plant? Is a human a cell?

No, met-ul
Its a jam or preserve
Its a condiment.
sometimes i'll just straight up take a drink of salsa. it's so good.
Jarred salsa barely has any nutritional value if the back of the label is to be believed so I'd say no. Like, black beans should have a ton of potassium in them but if you buy black bean and corn salsa it'll have very little potassium so I'd assume any of the other nutrients like vitamin A that aren't required to be on the label are also lacking.
But it tastes good so who cares.
My continued existence proves it is possible to subsist on homemade salsa so I say it counts
it's a medium-rare smoothie
No, it's a salad. Anything you put it on instantly becomes salad.
no it is a recipe
