Storage and Reheating Tips

Store the salmon, eggs, vegetables, and dressing separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Keep the dressing separate until serving to prevent the greens from becoming soggy.

The salad can be enjoyed cold straight from the refrigerator.

If preferred, gently reheat the salmon in a skillet over low heat before adding it to the salad.

Hard-boiled eggs can be stored in their shells in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

For meal prep, portion the ingredients into containers and assemble just before eating for maximum freshness.
