Usage Note
Salsa refers both to the Latin dance style and the spicy tomato-based condiment borrowed from Mexican cuisine. In a dance context, French speakers say danser la salsa; in a culinary context, salsa is used as an invariable noun and often sold in supermarkets as an American-style dip. The word entered French directly from Spanish and American English without modification.
Examples
"Elle adore danser la salsa le samedi soir."
Natural Translation
She loves dancing salsa on Saturday evenings.
