How to Store the Low-Carb Tofu and Cucumber Salad

The Low-Carb Tofu and Cucumber Salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. However, it’s best to keep the dressing separate and add it just before serving to prevent the salad from becoming soggy. Also, note that cucumbers release water over time, diluting the sauce and making the salad less crunchy. So, it’s best to drain any excess water before serving or eating.
