Notes
Storing
Okay, so full transparency, this salad really is best fresh. It doesn’t hold up well after sitting in the fridge. But if you’re trying to prep ahead or save leftovers, here’s the game plan:
If it’s not dressed yet:
Keep the strawberries, cucumbers, onion, and cheese in separate airtight containers. That’ll give you about 1–2 days in the fridge till you need to mix everything together. If it’s already dressed:
You’ve got about 24 hours before the cucumbers and strawberries start releasing too much water. It will still be edible, just not peak crispness. If the salad’s looking a little sad the next day, toss in a handful of fresh greens and a splash of lime juice.
