How Long Will a Mediterranean Salad Last In The Fridge?

Like all salads, it's best eaten fresh, however, this salad is great up to 2 days when you can still feel the textures of the ingredients. After that, it can still be eaten, but the quality of the ingredients will not be the same.

Tips To Extend The Freshness

Make smaller portions! This is something that I've struggled with most of my life because I come from a large family and everything was always prepared in large quantities. Since blogging, I have learnt a lot. Make what you will use for that day. It's best to keep them wanting more whilst leaving room for dessert, chocolate or a digestive.

Wash and Dry Well: Ensure vegetables are thoroughly washed and dried before storing to minimize moisture that can lead to spoilage. Invest in a salad spinner!

Pack Tightly: Pack the salad ingredients tightly in the container to minimize air exposure.

Whats The Difference Between a Mediterranean Salad and a Greek Salad?

Greek Salad: The choice of the ingredients that are used. Let me break it down a little more: A traditional Greek salad (also known as Horiatiki salata) has specific ingredients in it like tomatoes, cucumber, kalamata olives and feta cheese, a staple in Greek cuisine.

Mediterranean Salad: A Mediterranean Salad is much broader since it covers salads reflecting the cuisines along all of the Mediterranean region, which includes countries like Greece, Italy, Spain, and Turkey. This allows you to add ingredients like a variety of vegetables, cheeses, and proteins that represent the Mediterranean flavors. That's why I have suggested in this post, ingredients like artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, chickpeas, or grilled chicken.
