Notes
This recipe makes about 5 cups of salsa. As a party appetizer, it will serve roughly 15 people.
Storage: Keep salsa in an airtight container or jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, depending on the freshness of your ingredients.
Freezing: I don't recommend freezing salsa because it tends to get really liquidy when it's defrosted. It will also wilt the fresh cilantro leaves. If you want to try it, freeze in an airtight freezer safe container or bag for up to 2 months. Be sure to squeeze out as much air as possible.
