What is the difference between Salsa and Picante Sauce?

To be honest with you, I had to do a little research myself. I do know that Salsa is the Mexican word for "sauce," which can signify cooked or fresh mixtures. (Salsa cruda is "uncooked salsa"; salsa verde is "green salsa," which is typically based on tomatillos, green chiles and cilantro. They can range in spiciness from mild to mouth-searing). Picante is a sauce, as well, however; condiment-maker David Pace coined the term "picante sauce" with his own version of salsa. Picante sauce is usually a little more pureed but doesn't have to be necessarily. I hope this helps a little.
