Other Interesting Facts: The use of salsa as a table dip was first popularized by Mexican restaurants in the United States. During the 1980s, tomato-based Mexican-Style salsas gained in popularity, with many more people interested in trying it. While some salsa fans do not consider jarred products to be real salsa cruda, their widespread availability and long shelf life have been credited with much of salsa’s enormous popularity in states outside the southwest, especially in areas where salsa is not a traditional part of the cuisine.
