To keep your egg salad fresh, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should last for about 3 to 5 days. If you notice any changes in smell or texture, it’s best to discard it. Experiment with different add-ins, like diced apples or chopped herbs, to customize the taste. Adding fresh herbs or a sprinkle of paprika can enhance the presentation.
