Guasacaca (Wah-Sah-Kaka) Salsa De Venezuela
Guasacaca is a traditional Venezuelan salsa where all ingredients are meticulously hand-chopped rather than mashed like guacamole. It serves as a versatile accompaniment, perfect for spooning over arepas, mixing into chopped salads, or enjoying as a chunky dip with corn chips.
