Tips for Storing Autumn Salads
- Make ahead instructions: Almost all of these fall salads can be made ahead of time. When making ahead, I recommend storing the ingredients separately from the dressing, and toss when ready to serve. To prep ahead of time, chop up all the ingredients and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- How to store:More autumn salad leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Refer to the specific recipe post for complete storing instructions.
- How to customize. Most of these fall salad recipes are versatile and completely customizable. You can add in different vegetables or add in extra protein such as chicken, shrimp, salmon, or tofu.
