Storing Leftover Salsa

Strawberry salsa is best made ahead of time and refrigerated an hour before serving. It allows the flavors to meld together.

In the Refrigerator: If you have leftovers, the salsa can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. However, the berries will soften and release a lot of moisture, so it’s best to eat it fresh!
