Which term is a cold mixture of fresh herbs, spices, fruits, and/or vegetables used as a dip or topping?

• A. Bouillon
• B. Salsa
• C. Coulis
• D. Cream Soup

Answer: (B)

This question tests recognizing a cold mixture used as a dip or topping that includes fresh herbs, spices, fruits, and/or vegetables. Salsa fits because it is a chilled, chopped mix of vegetables (often tomatoes, onions, peppers), sometimes fruit, and herbs like cilantro, seasoned with spices and lime juice, and commonly served as a dip for chips or a topping for tacos and other dishes. Bouillon is a broth used to flavor soups or sauces, not a dip. Coulis is a smooth puréed sauce, typically served as a sauce or garnish rather than a chunky, fresh-herb dip. Cream soup is a creamy liquid served hot. So the best fit is salsa.
