Some are chunky (Pico de Gallo) while others are not. There are Spicy Salsa‘s. Some are red, while others are not. Some are fruity (Spicy Apple Salsa) while others are not.
What I really like about this Chunky Chili Style Salsa is that it has black beans in it (hence the chili-style reference). That one ingredient really makes a difference in this salsa.

How Long Does Salsa Last
While several factors come into play, homemade salsa will last 4 to 6 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can also freeze salsa in an airtight container or bag for up to 4 months.
