Cover the jar with a clean cloth or a loose lid to allow gases to escape. Leave at room temperature (65–75°F / 18–24°C) for 3–7 days, depending on desired tanginess. Taste daily—fermentation happens faster in warm conditions.

Once the salsa reaches your preferred flavor, seal it with a lid and store in the fridge. Fermented salsa can last 2–4 weeks and develops more complex flavors over time.
Tips for Perfect Fermentation
Use fresh, ripe vegetables for maximum flavor and nutrients.
Keep veggies submerged in their brine to prevent mold.
Taste daily—fermentation speed varies depending on temperature.
Optional spices: Add cumin, smoked paprika, or lime juice for extra flavor.
