How long will fresh homeade pico de gallo last? What is the best way to store it?
My husband always makes it and it is so good (onion, cilantro, jalapeno pepper, lime juice, tomato and seasonings). He makes a lot and we always end up tossing it after 4 or 5 days. I hate to waste it because I like to eat it on other things besides Mexican food.
How long will it really last and what is the best way to store it for future use?
Answers:
I wouldn't keep it more than 4 days or so, but it is best eaten fresh or within 12 hours (just long enough for the flavors to "marry"). Otherwise the onion starts to overpower things.
As for storage, store it in an air-tight container in the fridge.
