Salmon Salad

The beets can be boiled up to 3 days ahead and stored in the refrigerator. The salmon, celery, and beets can be mixed together and refrigerated up to 4 hours before dressing. However, the dressing must be made fresh and poured over the salad just before serving for proper texture and food safety.

Store the dressed salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The dressing will thicken considerably when chilled. Do not freeze, as the egg-based dressing and sour cream will separate and become watery upon thawing. Serve cold or at room temperature.
