Recipe FAQs
Fruit salsa can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days, in an airtight container. Note that the appearance and taste may change a bit.
Fruit salsa can be served chilled or at room temperature.. If serving chilled, I recommend that you let the salsa sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Yes, frozen fruit can be used in fruit salsa, but it is very important to thaw and drain the fruit before using to prevent excess moisture from watering down the salsa. Use fresh fruit if possible.
