Salsa Americana, also known as simply Americana, is a Chilean sauce made from a finely chopped or blended mixture of pickles, pickled carrots and pickled onions. One typically finds this condiment used on a traditional completo along with tomato, sauerkraut (chucrut) and mayonnaise. For this reason, the Salsa Americana is widely associated with Chilean completo culture.
