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. A salpicon is sometimes used as stuffing.

In Mexican cuisine and Central American 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 Honduras, rabbit meat is used.

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.[3]
