Storage/Reheating

I recommend storing any leftover bologna salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days. There's no need to reheat this dish, as it’s best served chilled. If I want to enjoy it later, I just pull it out and give it a quick stir before serving again.

Yes, I can easily swap out the bologna for another deli meat like turkey, ham, or chicken. Just make sure the meat is finely diced for the right texture.
