Question 9

When does Waldorf Salad expire?

Accepted Answer

A homemade Waldorf Salad, typically made with apples, celery, grapes, and walnuts, can keep well in the refrigerator for up to two days. After this, the salad quality begins to deteriorate, mostly due to the apples browning and the celery losing its crunch. Even when refrigerated, it’s not advisable to consume after more than 3 days.

Question 10

How do you tell if Waldorf Salad is bad?

Accepted Answer

One of the quickest ways to tell if your Waldorf Salad has gone bad is by its smell. If it has a sour, unpleasant odor, it’s best to throw it out. Similarly, if the walnuts have become rancid and the apples have started browning excessively, it's a good sign that the salad is no longer fit for consumption. Remember, it's always better to be safe than sorry in these situations.

Question 11

Tips for storing Waldorf Salad to extend shelf life

Accepted Answer

• Store your Waldorf Salad in an airtight container, as exposure to air can quicken the browning of apples and make other ingredients go stale.

• Place your salad at the back of your refrigerator where it's often cooler, rather than in the door.

• Before sealing the container, squeeze a little bit of lemon juice over your salad — the acidity can help prevent the browning of the apples.

• Try to make only the amount of Waldorf Salad you can consume in one or two sittings to avoid the issue of storage.
