How long will this salad keep in the fridge?

Up to four days when stored properly in an airtight container. The lemon juice and vinegar in the dressing help extend freshness while keeping the flavors bright. For best results, press plastic wrap directly on the surface before sealing to minimize browning from the avocado.

Can I freeze this salad?

No. Freezing isn’t recommended due to the delicate base made from avocado and Greek yogurt. These ingredients don’t thaw well and tend to become watery and grainy. Instead, freeze the shredded chicken separately and prepare the dressing fresh when you're ready to enjoy the salad.

Will the dressing turn brown?

Slight browning may occur after a day or two because of the avocado. To prevent this, use extra lemon juice in the dressing and limit oxygen exposure by storing the salad in a sealed container with plastic wrap pressed onto the surface. Eating it within three days ensures optimal color and taste.

Can I make this salad in larger batches?

Absolutely. This recipe scales easily. Just double or triple the ingredients while maintaining the same ratios. For large batches, prepare components in advance and combine closer to serving. This ensures the texture stays crisp, especially if you're including crunchy elements like red onion or celery.
