Professional Notes
Storage: Transfer the salsa to an airtight glass container. It will remain fresh and vibrant in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Freezing: While possible, freezing is not recommended for this specific recipe. The high water content in fresh tomatoes can cause the salsa to become watery and lose its crisp texture upon thawing.
