Saving Suggestions

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To maintain freshness:

• If at all possible, keep the lettuce and tomato apart and combine only before serving.
• Don’t freeze it because the fresh veggies and mayo-based dressing won’t defrost properly.
• To equalize the texture, mix the dip thoroughly or add a little more chopped cheese or meat if it starts to get watery.
