- Serve immediately or keep in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 3-4 days.

Notes
Potato salad keeps well in the fridge. However, the pesto tends to darken and oxidize quickly. We recommend to add the pesto just before serving.
Storage: It will last 3-4 days in the fridge in an air tight container.
