Storage and Reheating Tips

Store the eggs, cheese, olives, and tomatoes separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Avocado is best sliced fresh before serving to prevent browning.

Hard-boiled eggs can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.

Keep the dressing refrigerated in a sealed container for up to 5 days and whisk before serving.

This dish is intended to be served chilled or at room temperature and does not require reheating.

For meal prep, assemble the plate just before serving for the freshest appearance and texture.
