Salsa rosada or salsa golf
Salsa rosada, also known as salsa coctel, salsa golf, salsa rosa or mayoketchup, is a popular Latin American sauce made with mix of mayonnaise and ketchup. This pink sauce is a simple mix of mayonnaise and ketchup (and other condiments if you like).
In this recipe for salsa rosada, I use homemade mayonnaise but store-bought mayo works great too. You can mix in other condiments and flavors: a bit of cumin, or fresh garlic /garlic powder. I also love it with a little bit of hot sauce added, and if you like it spicy that’s a great addition, you can a tsp of Tabasco or 1 tbs of Sriracha. If you want to upgrade the tomato taste, you can replace some of the ketchup with sun dried tomato paste.
You can also add a dash of vodka. Salsa rosada is used as a salad dressing, especially for cold seafood salads or shrimp cocktail. It can also be used as a dip for French fries or Salchipapas, plantain chips or patacones, yuca fries, and as a spreading sauce for sandwiches.

For over 50 years my family have used this recipe adding some vinegar as spaghetti sauce for spaghetti and meatballs…. awesome.
This is just the best salsa ever, how can such a simple mix generate such a wonderful flavor? Ive having this kind of Salsa most of my life and I never have enough! perfect with Tacos, Burritos, Empanadas and many more!
I remember at the Club Campestre in Cali always asking for salsa rosa to eat our fosforito french fries with … so good. I love seeing all your recipes. I am braising a sudado de pollo as I sit here using a variation of some of your seco recipes and hopefully it will be as good as your secos look in the pictures. Thanks for sharing …
Wish I could find the pan dulce recipe from many of the Cali bakeries … I have hunted for the recipe for years but to no avail. It is not the same as the pan dulce from Mexico. Any ideas???
Wonderful-my husband loves this sauce, but I’ve never thought about making it before-thanks for the recipe!!
