Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
If you're going to be storing the salad for a while, don't add in the cheese and dressing until right before you serve it. Since zoodles aren't like pasta, the dressing won't be soaked up as much so the salad and cheese will become soggy if you let it sit too long.
