When does Corn Salad expire?

Accepted Answer

Unopened store-bought corn salad typically stays good for about 3 to 5 days past its 'best by' date. Once opened, you'll want to eat it within 2 to 3 days. If you've made your corn salad at home, you'll get about the same amount of time out of it - 2 to 3 days in the fridge. When it comes to freezing your corn salad, it's not commonly done due to it containing lettuce which wilts and becomes undesirable after freezing and thawing, but if you choose to, understand that texture will be affected.
