Question 9

When does Strawberry Salad expire?

Accepted Answer

A homemade strawberry salad is best eaten fresh, but can last for about 1-2 days in the fridge if it's properly stored. If the salad contains dairy (like a cheese or yogurt dressing), that might shorten its shelf life. Freezing isn't usually recommended because the texture of the strawberries and salad greens can become unpleasantly mushy when defrosted.

Question 10

How do you tell if Strawberry Salad is bad?

Accepted Answer

Here are the signs that your salad has gone bad. Look first at the strawberries- they should be colourful, firm and fragrant. If they’re squishy, moldy, or have an off-smell, that's a bad sign. The greens in the salad should also be crisp. If they're wilted, slimy or discolored, it's time to dispose of the salad.

Question 11

Tips for storing Strawberry Salad to extend shelf life

Accepted Answer

• Store the salad in a tight-lid container within two hours of preparation.

• To keep it from wilting, avoid dressing the salad until right before you're going to eat it.

• Putting a paper towel in with the salad can absorb excess moisture and prevent wilting.

• Refrigerate your salad as soon as possible. The cooler temperature slows down the deterioration process.

• When storing, place the salad in the coolest part of your fridge (usually the back), not in the door.
