No Mexican entree is complete without a complementary salsa or dip, but we of course love to serve it with fresh Homemade Tortilla Chips, Tacos and Burritos.

Who doesn’t love salsa? We love them all – red, Salsa Verde, Strawberry Salsa, or Peach Salsa, to name a few! Here’s why we love this specific homemade salsa recipe:
Easy. Quick prep time, made in minutes and very simple (just dump and blend). Versatile. It goes with EVERYTHING (Quesadillas, Chimichangas, etc)! Flavor. It tastes like it came straight from an authentic restaurant – SO tasty!

How to Make Salsa
Store + Freeze
STORE – This can be refrigerated for in an airtight container for up to 1 week. If the color starts to darken, a smell starts to omit or fungus forms, then the salsa is no longer good. FREEZE. This best homemade salsa recipe can be frozen for 2-4 months. Here are a few tips: To prevent discoloration, add a bit of lemon or lime juice to the salsa. Store it in an airtight container in smaller serving sizes. Do not freeze chunky salsa. Pureed salsa freezes best.
