National Salsa Month

National Salsa Month is observed throughout May to celebrate salsa, the Mexican condiment and restaurant staple. The name salsa means “sauce” in Spanish, and salsa comes in many styles, including cruda (raw), verde (green), negra (black), ranchera (ranch-style), and fresca (fresh). It may be raw or cooked, smooth or chunky, spicy, sweet, or fruity—not just the tomato-based pico de gallo. Web-Holidays.com

Pace Foods established National Salsa Month in 1997 to highlight salsa’s growing popularity as a staple in American households. Another account says May was declared National Salsa Month during Pace Foods’ 50th anniversary in recognition of salsa’s popularity and unique heritage. FoodReference.com
