Foods That Should Never Touch Your Fridge (And Why)
Salad
It might seem logical to store your salad in the fridge to keep it fresh longer, but that’s not always necessary. If you’ve already dressed it, however, its lifespan is already shortened—time to enjoy it!
A salad can last for a few hours at room temperature, so there’s no need to refrigerate it just to prevent wilting. The dressing will speed up the breakdown of moisture in the veggies, so make sure you time it right before diving in.
