Similarly, it is asked, how long does chicken salad with mayo last in the fridge?
Mayo and chopped/cooked veggies can easily last for 5 days in a low moisture, airtight container in the fridge, however the nutritional content of the veggies will start degrading after 2-3 days. In regards to the cooked chicken, it's usually not recommended to eat after 3 days in the fridge.
Leftovers can be kept for three to four days in the refrigerator. Be sure to eat them within that time. After that, the risk of food poisoning increases. If you don't think you'll be able to eat leftovers within four days, freeze them immediately.
