    FAQs

    How long can I store leftovers?

    If you expect there will be leftover salad, I recommend serving the dressing on the side rather than on top of the salad. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

    Can I make the salad ahead of time?

    This salad can be meal prepped up up to 3 days ahead of time. Let the salmon completely cool before placing it on the salad or store it separately. Keep the dressing separate from the salad and dress just before serving.
