Recipe Tips & Suggestions
Some tips on how to keep cucumbers from going bad:
Store unwashed cucumber in the refrigerator. Wrap it in a paper towel or store it in a plastic bag to help retain moisture and crispness.
Store partially cut cucumbers in an airtight container with a damp paper towel to keep them moist and prevent oxidation (browning).
Please ensure adequate ventilation for the cucumbers if you store them outside the fridge.
Please don't forget to discard any cucumbers showing mold or decay, as these can cause foodborne illnesses.
Rana’s Notes!
To keep your creamy yogurt cucumber salad safe for longer, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The salad can stay fresh for up to four days, but it's best to consume it within 48 hours to ensure maximum flavor and freshness. Before serving, you may need to give the salad a quick stir to redistribute the dressing and ingredients. Enjoy!
