Is It Good for Meal Prep?
As delicious as this salad is, it’s best enjoyed fresh. It only keeps for around a day in the fridge, so it’s not ideal for prepping days in advance.
How to Store It
Even though this recipe doesn’t involve cooking, it still needs to be stored properly.
Place it in an airtight container and refrigerate straight away. Leaving it at room temperature for more than two hours can cause it to spoil. It’ll keep in the fridge for up to 24 hours, so eat it within that window.
Variations and Add-Ins
One of the best things about a salad like this is how easy it is to make it your own. Mix in your favourite toppings or switch up the dressing to keep things interesting. Just remember — if you’re tracking your macros, any changes may affect the nutritional info.
