Here are some key differences between the two:<\/p><p>A sauce is typically a smooth, liquidy mixture that is used to enhance the flavor of food. It is often made with a combination of spices, herbs, and other ingredients, and can be either thick or thin in thickness.\u00a0<\/p><p>Salsa on the other hand, is a chunky, flavorful mixture that is used as a topping or dipping sauce. It typically contains chopped tomatoes, onions, peppers, and other vegetables, and is often spiced with chili peppers or other seasonings.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-74c609d0 elementor-widget-divider--view-line_text elementor-widget-divider--element-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-2676 elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"74c609d0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7994f35f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7994f35f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">can you use salsa as pizza sauce?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-238f1b1f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"238f1b1f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Although some people will be sceptical about using diverse sauces rather than the regular tomato one on their pizzas, I say go for it!\u00a0<\/p><p>As making professional pizzas at home became a popular trend thanks to the home-use pizza ovens, people started to become more creative with their toppings and sauces.<\/p><p>As a result, some pretty interesting types of sauces have been born, including White Garlic Sauce, Hummus, Pesto, Marinara Sauce, Garlic Ranch Sauce, etc.<\/p><p><b>If so, can you use salsa as pizza sauce?\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p>My verdict is &#8211; Why not!\u00a0<\/p><p>If you are a salsa fan, using salsa as a pizza base is definitely something you can give a try.

As a result, you&#8217;ll need to follow a few simple steps to &#8220;convert&#8221; your salsa into a proper pizza sauce.<\/p><h3>Drain the salsa as much as you can<\/h3><p>Unlike pizza sauce, salsa is usually quite chunky and watery. If you&#8217;ll use it as is, your pizza dough will absorb all of the liquid, which will lead to a soggy and wet pizza.<\/p><p>To avoid this, make sure to drain the salsa before using it as a sauce. You can do this by simply spooning it into a colander or strainer and letting the excess liquid drip off.<\/p><h3>Add some tomato paste<\/h3><p>If you are planning on using salsa as a pizza sauce, adding some tomato paste is highly recommended.<\/p><p>Although salsa is a tomato-based dip, it still lacks the degree of tomato flavor needed for pizza sauce.<\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: inherit; text-align: inherit; font-family: var( --e-global-typography-a0860ce-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); letter-spacing: var( --e-global-typography-a0860ce-letter-spacing ); word-spacing: var( --e-global-typography-a0860ce-word-spacing ); background-color: var(--has-background, var(--palettecolor8)); color: var(--color); font-style: var(--fontStyle, inherit); text-transform: var(--textTransform);\">By adding some tomato paste to the salsa, you will get a sauce that combines both, the salsa&#8217;s boldness and the classic pizza sauce flavor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3>Apply the salsa on top of the cheese<\/h3><p>As mentioned before, salsa is slightly different from a typical pizza sauce &#8211; it is very chunky and watery. With that said, it shouldn&#8217;t keep you from using it on your pizzas.<\/p><p>Your goal here is to find a way to prevent the pizza dough from getting soggy, but still use the salsa as the base of your pizza.<\/p><p>One interesting way to do this is by applying the salsa on top of the cheese, rather than spreading it directly onto the dough.<\/p><p>This way, the cheese will act as a barrier and prevent the sauce from seeping into the dough.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-329f8668 elementor-widget-divider--view-line_text elementor-widget-divider--element-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-2676 elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"329f8668\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pizza Ovens Web participates in various affiliate programs, which means we may get paid commissions on certain products purchased through&nbsp;&nbsp;links in&nbsp;our blog.
