It’s best to enjoy this creamy salad on the day. Although, you can keep it for 1-2 days if stored in a lidded container in the fridge. Store the dressing separately and add to the vegan cucumber salad before serving to avoid it turning soggy. Tried this recipe?Please let me know in the comments below
