The dressing can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Keep covered in the fridge until ready to use.

The salad can be assembled up to 4 hours before serving. Let the salad sit out for 30 minutes before serving. Toss well with a large spoon before serving.

Leftovers will keep covered in the fridge for several days, although this salad is definitely best served the same day it's prepared.

NOTE: If you make the mayo from scratch, remember: Although the risk of contracting illness from raw eggs is minimal, those with a compromised immune system should avoid consuming them.
