Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Watermelon Salad expire?
Watermelon salad, when stored properly, can last up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator. Once you've opened it or made it fresh at home, consume it within this time frame, as fruits can quickly turn after being cut open. If you've bought it pre-packaged and unopened from the store, it should be good until the printed date, but always take a quick sniff to ensure it hasn't gone off early. Freezing watermelon salad isn't common, as the textures of the fruit and vegetables can dramatically change upon defrosting.
How do you tell if Watermelon Salad is bad?
Bad watermelon salad will have a few clear signs. Firstly, look at it. If it appears slimy or the watermelon pieces are overly soft and mushy, it's time to throw it out. Next, smell it. If the salad has an off or sour odor, this is a clear sign it's past its prime. Trust your instincts—if you're doubtful, it's better to be safe and discard it.
Tips for storing Watermelon Salad to extend shelf life
• Always store your watermelon salad in an air-tight container. This will keep it fresh for longer and prevent any odors from the fridge affecting its taste. • Don't dress your salad until you're about to eat it. Dressings can make salads soggy and speed up their demise. Keep dressing on the side and add just before you're ready to eat. • When preparing homemade watermelon salad, consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice. Not only will this give a nice, fresh zing to your salad, it can also help the fruits to stay fresh for longer.
