I have a friend who hates condiments (mustard, mayo, etc...) but he'll eat salsa. He insists that salsa is not a condiment. What do you think?

Salsa is definitely a condiment. Your friend is swimming in the river of DENIAL.

Disclaimer: I am the "friend" that eats salsa but not condiments. Lots of good answers here, but I'm sorry to say anyone that answered "Yes" is wrong! Sorry! You can never win this one, though...
Is anything that you dip food into a condiment? Well, is fondue a condiment? Is milk a condiment? Sometimes I dip Oreos in milk.
Is anthing that you add to the main dish a condiment? Sometimes I put french fries on my cheeseburger. Are french fries a condiment? If so, what other condiments do you put condiments on?
People that say that salsa is a condiment when it is used as one, but something else when you eat it with chips, are on the right track! (When you eat salsa with chips, are you "enhancing the flavor of" the chips? Nice try!)
Jerry Seinfeld and George Costanza are often wrong, and don't even get me started on Bobby Flay.

How long will salsa stay fresh in the refrigerator? In: Storage of Fruits and Vegetables Answer I have made fresh salsa many many many times and I can tell you that if you are not using any kind of preservatives or if you are not using proper canning methods that the quality diminishes by the hour. I would not want to let a (fresh) batch go for more than a day or two at the very most.Make certain that the container you are using is clean, has an air tight lid and place in the fridge immediately after making. The first hour or so will allow the different ingredients to meld together after that........ you can expect to taste the overall flavor decline rather quickly. You have to remember these are all fresh ingredients and nothing is keeping them from decomposing besides the chill of the fridge, which is some thing, but will not slow the process down for long. Besides it's fun to make, and you can have a party every time you make it.

Salsa in spanish means sauce. Salsa is, as a whole, not a condiment, but it can be made out of condiments, there are a lot of salsas with pepper, mustard, etc.

A condiment is added to a main meal as an enhancer.
Salsa can be used in this fashion. However, it can also be considered a primary food (veggie) and other condiments (hot sauce) can be added to it.
So, the answer is yes and no.

This is definately one of those questions that make you go hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
It is used as a topping on a variety of things to add flavor...I guess that is the same as Mayo and mustard?
But my first instinct is to say no...however, I remember that salsa is the new ketchup?
YEP - I am gonna go with condiment.

Yes, salsa is a condiment. Anything that you dip food into is considered a condiment.

If you dip it or spread it on something, like chips, it's a condiment. Salsa is a condiment.

It can be considered a condiment if it's on top of a burrito. It can also be a dip if it's eaten with chips. It just depends upon how you're serving it. It's not really a condiment like ketchup and mustard.

Anything can be a condiment if applied seperately to a dish as an enhancement of said dish.
So in a way everything that was not added during the preparation of a meal, that is added afterwords by the eatter is a condiment, reguardless.
