Salpicon (Spanish: salpicón, meaning "hodgepodge" or "medley"; Portuguese: salpicão)[1] is a dish of one or more ingredients diced or minced and bound with a sauce or liquid.[2] There are different versions found in Spanish and the broader Latin American cuisine and Filipino cuisine. A salpicon is sometimes used as stuffing.

In Central American cuisine the dish is similar, with some varieties. In Nicaragua, salpicon is a mixture of minced meat mixed with green bell pepper, onion, salt and lime. It is served hot or cold, and with white rice and plantains (boiled, fried, etc.).[3][4] In El Salvador the minced meat gets mixed with mint, radish, onion, garlic and lime. It is also served alongside white rice, and sometimes beans.[5] In Honduras, rabbit meat is also used.

In South American cuisine there are also different varieties. In Colombian cuisine, salpicón is a fruit cocktail beverage made with a base of watermelon and/or orange juice, which gives it its bright red color, and soda water.[6] In Peru it is "Salpicón de pollo", a chicken salad with vegetables, mayonnaise, lime, and herbs.[7]

In Mexican cuisine, the term refers to a salad mixture containing thinly sliced or chopped flank steak, onion, oregano, chile serrano, avocado, tomatoes, and vinegar. The mixture is commonly served on tostadas, tacos or as a filling of poblano peppers.

In Filipino cuisine, it is known specifically as "beef salpicao" (or rarely, "beef salpicado") and is made from seared or stir-fried tender cubes or thin strips of beef in oil, salt, black pepper, and characteristically, minced garlic. A sauce is then added, usually made from soy sauce, butter, and sugar (also Worcestershire sauce or oyster sauce). It is eaten with rice.[8][9][10][11] It is also known as salpicado de solomillo in Philippine Spanish.[12][11]
