For food safety it’s best to consider how long your food can stay out of the refrigerator if you’re packing a lunch and where it will be when you get to your destination. The limit for any recipe that includes meat poultry fish cut vegetables and dairy (including soft cheeses) is about two hours according to the USDA. In warm weather it’s much shorter: about an hour. It’s best to put anything you plan to refrigerate in an insulated cooler with at least two ice packs overnight. The larger the ice packs and the closer you place them to the food the longer everything will stay chilled.
This creamy yet light vegan salad is packed with bright spicy goodness. On its own it’s great served with a sandwich or veggie burger in place of potato salad or coleslaw. You can also make it a light lunch by adding a handful of arugula and enjoying it as a green salad. Double the recipe and keep in the fridge to have on hand all week.
