EXPERT TIPS!
- Store this in the refrigerator in an airtight container until ready to serve.
- This will last 3-5 days in the refrigerator when stored properly.
- If your salad becomes a little bit dry after sitting for a few days just add a bit more salad dressing to it. You can also toss the noodles in oil after cooking them to reduce how much dressing they will soak up.
- Do no allow this salad to sit out more than two hours when serving it.
- If you are letting it sit out at a party we recommend making an ice bath for it by sitting the bowl of salad in another bowl that has ice and water in it to keep it cool.
