Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Keep the dressing separate until serving for the freshest flavor and texture.

Avocado is best sliced fresh; if storing, sprinkle with lemon juice and cover tightly to reduce browning.

Hard-boiled eggs can be refrigerated for up to 5 days.
