Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I make this fresh salsa recipe without cilantro? Yes, you can omit the cilantro if you’re not a fan. However, cilantro is perhaps one of the key tastes in this recipe, so leaving it out means it won’t be nearly as close in taste to Chipotle’s fresh salsa.
• How long does fresh salsa last if refrigerated? It’s best to use it within the first two days. After that, the tomatoes get almost soggy. Not exactly “fresh” salsa at that point.
• How do you keep the fresh tomato salsa from getting watery? You can salt and drain the tomatoes before adding the other ingredients.
