Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Arugula Salad expire?
Arugula salad usually lasts about 3 to 5 days in the refrigerator after the package is opened. Don't pay too much heed to the 'use by' date on the package; quality, not safety, is the main concern there. If the salad is homemade, it should last about 1 to 2 days in the fridge. Arugula salad isn't typically frozen in households, as it can compromise the quality.
How do you tell if Arugula Salad is bad?
Arugula salad going bad is usually easy to detect. The leaves will start to wilt, and overtime, turn a yellow or dark green color. They might also become slimy or develop a foul odor. If you see any of these signs, it's time to toss out the salad.
