Tomato salsa should always be refrigerated after opening to prevent spoilage and maintain its fresh flavor. Store it in an airtight container to prevent it from absorbing odors from other foods in the refrigerator and to minimize oxidation. Properly stored, opened salsa can last for about 1 to 2 weeks in the refrigerator. You can also freeze salsa in airtight containers for longer storage, though the texture may change slightly upon thawing. Freezing is best for cooked or processed salsas.
