Bean salad question

Made the bean salad and in the fridge, recipe calls for cucumber and tomatoes to be added. Should I add these now to get the flavour or tomorrow when it is to be eaten. Presume it will keep for a few days?

The bean salad that I make doesn't actually have tomatoes in it, poolgirl6 - it's a recipe that is very similar to KFC's bean salad, but IMO you would be best to add the tomatoes tomorrow - not sure about the cucumber, it may be ok but I think that tomatoes added to a salad go too soggy/'squishy' if added too early.

Depending on what is in your bean salad, it may keep for a few days - the one I make sure does but I like to keep it in a jar so that I can regularly tip it over to mix and moisten the beans, onion and capsicum with the dressing.

Hope that helps.:-))
