Salsa should always be refrigerated after opening. Store commercially prepared salsa in its original jar, tightly sealed, in the refrigerator. Homemade salsa should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Properly stored, salsa will typically last for about 1 to 2 weeks. You can also freeze salsa for longer storage; portion it into freezer-safe bags or containers, leaving some headspace, and it can last for several months. Thaw in the refrigerator before using.
