Easy Homemade Tomato Salsa Recipe

How long is homemade salsa good?

When you refrigerate homemade salsa, it should be good for 5-7 days. So if you want to make it ahead for game day, weekend get-togethers, parties, or holidays, you most certainly can!

How do I thicken up my homemade salsa?

Luckily, this is more of a thick and chunky salsa recipe. If you would like to thicken it up a little more, you can! Just add a little corn starch. This will help give you the consistency you desire.

Why does restaurant salsa taste better?

If you’re wondering why restaurant salsa usually tastes better than store bought, it’s because of the fresher ingredients. This copycat Mexican restaurant salsa recipe is the perfect way to get that restaurant flavor at home!
