Author's Notes

Store in an airtight glass jar in the refrigerator. The salsa will keep for up to 1 month when refrigerated. Always use a clean spoon when serving to prevent contamination.

Let the salsa come to room temperature before using, as the oil may solidify in the fridge. Stir well before each use, as the oil may separate.
