Notes
How long can we store this salsa
This salsa can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-5 days in a well sealed container. I will emphasis again on well sealed container as the smell can seep out if not closed air tight.Other FAQ's
- Using canned / tinned tomato adds a lot of flavor and texture to the salsa.
- Make sure to remove the seeds from the jalapenos to adjust the spice level.
- I love using Roma or plum tomato for the recipe as they have less seeds.
- Salsa can be served right after it is made or can be refrigerated for couple of hours and served chilled.
