How do you know when Boxing Day Salad is cooked?
This recipe doesn’t call for any cooking! Just toss all your ingredients together, and then serve.
If you’re not using leftover turkey and cooking it from scratch, you’ll know the turkey is cooked when you pierce it and the juices run clear, with no pinkness. As per UK food safety guidelines, always cook meat until it reaches 75ºC and stays at that temperature for at least two minutes. This is to keep you and whoever it is you’re cooking for safe.
How long can you keep Boxing Day Salad in the fridge?
You can store turkey you’ve cooked in advance in the fridge until you’re ready to put the full salad together. However, thisBoxing Day Salad tastes best freshly cooked and served immediately. Once you’ve put it out, ideally you should eat it within 4 hours.
If you do hang onto any leftovers, make sure to refrigerate in a container with a lid, and chill. You can keep leftovers of Boxing Day Salad in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Can I freeze Boxing Day Salad?
No, this recipe is not suitable for freezing as it uses fresh veggies. It’s best made fresh and served right away.
