How long does egg salad keep?
This egg salad will keep well in the fridge for around 4 days. Keep in in an airtight container and don’t leave it at room temperature for more than 2 hours.

It’s best not to freeze this egg salad as it contains mayonnaise. When frozen, it becomes rubbery and watery. It will still be safe to eat once thawed, but the texture will change considerably.
