Rebecca's Notes:...Leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for about 2 days.
The salad will become soggy if the dressing has been added so if this is
being prepped ahead of time, simply make the dressing and store in a
glass jar until needed.
Only dress the salad when ready to serve.
