• If you have made this up and there’s some leftover then you must be wondering if it can be stored for later use. Well yes, it will be fine for 4-5 days which I have tested myself but I believe it could be stretched for the whole week depending upon your storage conditions.

• Keep your leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

• However, if you plan to use it throughout the week then it’s suggested you make it according to your portion size and increase the ingredients amount accordingly.
