FAQs on making your own salsa at home:

  • Do you have to put the ingredients in the food processor? I prefer to! It is so much easier to chop them up that way and just pulsing everything together a few times will really make a huge difference!
  • How long does this salsa stay good for in the fridge? About 1 week. We fly through it over here so usually it’s gone in a couple days between all of us. But it stays good in the fridge for a bit.
  • Is this salsa spicy? It has a little kick to it because of the jalapeño but you can always omit if you don’t want this spicy and prefer it to be more mild.
