Professional Notes
This salad is best consumed within 3 days. To maintain the vibrant green color and prevent oxidation from the avocado, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the salad before sealing the container. This eliminates air contact.
Freezing is not recommended for this recipe. The cellular structure of the egg whites and the high water content of the celery will result in an undesirable texture upon thawing.
