I wouldn't even hesitate, myself. No visual, taste, or texture changes, I presume?

If it ain't got fuzz on it I would gobble it up.

Store the jar upside-down. Salsa lasts a looong time.

Salsa is deep in my "if there isn't mold on it then it's fine" category so I'm joining the chorus of YES ENJOY.

I keep an open bottle of this in my fridge all the time, sometimes go weeks without using it, and have never had it go bad.

I tend to not play too fast and loose with such things but salsa is firmly in the category of "unless it's visibly moldy, eh, it's fine" for me. I would not at all hesitate to eat an open jar of salsa that's been in my fridge for two weeks. And in a lot of cases, longer than that ...

Yeah, I've eaten TJ's cowboy caviar (similarly tomato-less) after like six months.

when salsa (or tomato sauce) is off, you taste it -- too acidic -- or see it -- too fuzzy.
