Can anyone tell me how long a 3 Bean Salad will last in the Fridge?

We love 3 bean salad and this is my favorite recipe. But of course it makes a lot and it's just the 2 of us and we don't want to eat it every day until it's gone. If I make it will it last awhile in the fridge?

I keep mine for a couple of weeks. The keeping properties is

one of the selling points for me. I like to keep it during the summer for a bite of something cold & crisp with a sandwich.

Thanks Melissa. That's exactly what I thought but I just wanted to

be safe. Since it's almost perpetually summer here we like it for the very same reason. Thanks!

Sometimes I move it to a smaller container to keep it submerged in

the vinaigrette as it gets eaten.

Yep, good idea. I down size all the time anyway.
