HOW LONG WILL THIS SALAD LAST
This refreshing Chickpea Salad is best served immediately. You can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a day, but the longer it sits, the more likely moisture from the vegetables will leach out and make the salad soupy. Luckily, it’s quick to make, so you can easily prepare it the day you plan to eat it.
