Ways to Enjoy and Store Leftovers
Best enjoyed immediately. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to two days. Please note, that the lettuce may wilt once it is dressed.
However, any extra salmon or Mediterranean toppings will stay fresh for up to four days covered in the refrigerator. Extra salmon and toppings can be enjoyed a variety of ways. Tuck everything inside of a wrap, enjoy it over toasted bread, or toss the extra salmon and Mediterranean salad in some cooked pasta for a delicious twist on pasta salad.
