“Vegetables” are not A Thing. The word just means a part of a plant we eat as a savoury dish. Some are seeds (like peas), or pods with the seeds still inside (green beans), or leaves (spinach, chard), roots or kinda-roots (carrots, garlic, beets), or (baby) flowers (cauliFLOWER, broccoli, Brussels sprouts - all from the same recent cabbage ancestor), lots are fruit (pumpkin, zucchini, cucumber, peppers, tomatoes). I found it fascinating when I planted my first garden 5 years ago, knowing squat about nature. Veggies are just plants where your pick the good part.
Salsa is fruit salad.
Salsa is a spicy smoothie
Pico de gallo maybe
I’ve never had a fruit salad with the consistency of salsa, but I see where you’re coming from. They are very close relatives.
New York City?!
Nah, this is just objectively wrong. Even if you think of tomato as a fruit, what else is a fruit in typical salsa? Nothing.
Not a staple where I’m from, but aren’t there japalenos in there? Bell peppers ?
Awww shit. I dun fucked up. Apparently all peppers are fruits, botanically speaking.

How are you defining a savoury? As a taste like sweet, salty, savoury, etc? Plenty of sweet (and salty, bitter and sour) dishes made with vegetables.
Not salad, salad is something you can “toss” in a jumble, like popcorn or some kinds of hash browns.
Salsa is generally more thoroughly mixed than that, so smoothie or maybe soup.
Hash browns are salad, confirmed.
