How long will bean salad last in the fridge?

Bean salad is a convenient and nutritious meal that’s perfect for meal prepping. Packed with fiber, protein, and essential vitamins and minerals, it’s a great choice for a balanced diet. However, like all perishable foods, bean salad has a limited shelf life. Knowing how to properly store it is essential to ensure freshness and food safety.
