Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Should Cucumber Salsa Last?

Homemade cucumber salsa is one of those recipes you make once and never again because it doesn’t seem like there are enough hours in the day to eat it all up.

But here’s some good news: You’ll find yourself making it even though you don’t want to. Because while it’s best when it’s fresh, it lasts well — and the flavor intensifies as it sits in the fridge.

How Do You Cut A Cucumber?

The easiest way to cut a cucumber is to halve it lengthwise. Then you can use a spoon to scoop out the pulpy center and seeds. This method works best for slicing cucumbers because it leaves behind fewer small pieces.

Final Thoughts

If you’ve ever made homemade salsa before, then you know what a pain it can be. The problem isn’t the ingredients; it’s the chopping and dicing. It takes patience and practice to get the right texture.

That said, you can always substitute store-bought salsa, but will it taste as good as the homemade recipes above?
