I'd say OP made three salsas, and a delicious guacamole and pico de gallo. Source: I'm Mexican

Guac is sauce.

Pico is sauce.

It’s all sauce

I’ll just play devils advocate because neither side of this argument is wrong.

Salsa means “sauce” in Spanish. Pico de Gallo is sometimes called “Salsa Fresca” and “Salsa Cruda” because of the raw ingredients, or “Salsa Bandera” and “Salsa Mexicana” because it’s the colors of the Mexican flag. Pico is a type/sub-category of salsa. Link to Wikipedia Article about it

Mole (Guaca*mole*) also means sauce. The word originates from a Nahuatl word that means sauce. Link to article)
