Several months back I attended my good friend Larissa\u2019s wedding in San Juan and had the pleasure of eating some great Puerto Rican food. No joke \u2013 I could eat mofongo and sweet plantains every day.<\/p>\n

In the picture I’m eating a crab cake dipped in chipotle aioli. Not exactly Puerto Rican food, but whatever, it was good!<\/p>\n

Despite all the great food I ate at the wedding and at some of the restaurants I visited, there is one Puerto Rican food I\u2019m not all that sure about. And believe or not, it\u2019s a dipping sauce. <\/p>\n

I came across the questionable dip at a local hangout near our hotel. When eating the dip my tongue told me it was one part ketchup and two parts mayonnaise,<\/strong> and after a short Internet search I learned my tongue was correct.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t get me wrong. A ketchup and mayonnaise mix has its place. I first discovered that goodness in London. Try swirling a chip in a little bit of ketchup and mayo to see what I mean.<\/p>\n

Yum.<\/em> That\u2019s what I mean.<\/p>\n

Anyway, back to the ketchup-mayo dip enjoyed by Puerto Ricans and referred to as salsa de sofrito or salsa rosa<\/strong>. The dipping sauce is normally served alongside fried foods including the popular fried corn sticks (sorullitos) pictured here.<\/p>\n

\"puerto<\/a><\/p>\n

Who would deny themselves that deep fried goodness?<\/em><\/p>\n

Back home I decided to revisit salsa rosa. I made two versions. The first using only ketchup and mayo and the second using real food<\/em> as ingredients.<\/p>\n

The hubs and I put the dips to the test with corn chips. What, did you think I was going to fry up corn sticks?<\/em> Right.<\/p>\n

\"salsa<\/a><\/p>\n

There was absolutely no question that the homemade dip tasted better. But to be sure, I cooked up a batch of tater tots (yes, I said tots). Believe it or not, the tots tasted alright with version number one (bottom of the photo)<\/p>\n

If you’d like to know my super duper complicated recipe for version number two (top of the photo), then here you go.<\/p>\n

Saucy Dipper’s salsa rosa recipe: <\/strong><\/p>\n

*2 c. homemade chunky red sauce<\/a><\/strong> or salsa
\n*4 heaping tbsp. light sour cream<\/p>\n
