I prepared this the night before I was planning to serve it & slightly warmed it up when I was ready to serve it alongside grilled steaks & chicken wings.  I stored the leftover salsa in the fridge, & it still tasted fresh for almost a week.  The only thing I would change is to use less canola oil next time, maybe about 1/4+ cup instead of 1/2 cup (it was a little too oily).  Otherwise, the salsa had wonderful flavors!
