Recipe Tips & Suggestions
Storage Recommendation:
To maintain the freshness and quality of Salata Arabiya, it is best enjoyed immediately after preparation. However, if you have leftovers, you can store the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. It's important to note that the longer the salad sits, the softer the vegetables may become, and the flavors may intensify. For optimal freshness, it is recommended to chop the vegetables ahead of time and add the dressing just 15 minutes before serving. This will help retain the crispness of the ingredients and prevent them from becoming soggy. Remember to gently toss the salad before serving to redistribute the flavors.
