Salsa rosada, also known as salsa coctel, is a popular Latin American sauce made with mix of mayonnaise and ketchup. This sauce is also known as Argentinean golf sauce, it is a simple mix of mayonnaise and ketchup (and other condiments if you like). In this recipe for salsa rosada, I use homemade mayonnaise which is made with onion and cumin, so if you’re making this sauce with store bought mayonnaise I recommend adding a little bit of ground cumin. I’ve had it before with a little bit of hot sauce added, and if you like it spicy that’s a good addition. 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, chips, and as a spreading sauce for sandwiches.

October 29, 2008 at 3:26 pmI 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???
