How To Store Olive Salad

  • Ideally, the olive salad should be made a day in advance to give the flavors time to meld. If stored in a jar with a good seal, it will keep in the refrigerator for months.

  • If you would like to, you can freeze olive salad in an airtight container for even longer storage, but in most cases, refrigeration should suffice.
