This salad is best served fresh. However, if stored in an airtight container, the salad will stay good for about 1–2 days in the refrigerator. The spinach may wilt over time.
Yes, you can use other cheeses like feta, goat cheese, or even shredded cheddar if you prefer. Just keep in mind that the flavor profile may change.
If preparing in advance, store the dressing separately from the salad to prevent the spinach from wilting. Toss the salad with dressing just before serving for the best texture.
