If you are used to preparing large portions of salad for the holidays, so that you can eat the dish for a week, then you should abandon this idea.

The fact is that the optimal shelf life of holiday treats is only a few hours.

The Olivier salad, beloved by many, can be stored in the refrigerator for no more than 12 hours. After that, the product becomes a breeding ground for bacteria that can only harm your health.

This rule must be remembered when talking about herring under a fur coat.

Dishes made from raw and canned vegetables can be stored a little longer – up to 18 hours.

If these salads already have dressing, the shelf life is significantly reduced. As experts note, such dishes cannot be eaten after 6 hours.

Fried or baked chicken can be kept in the refrigerator for a little more than a day – 36 hours.

It is important to remember that you cannot leave food on the table overnight.

It is important to put them away for storage in time to slow down the spread of bacteria.

It is also advisable not to leave the aspic in the refrigerator for a long time.
