Storage: Once your salad is dressed, it's only good for around 24 hours, as the dressing will start to wilt the spinach. To  avoid this, store your dressing separately from the undressed greens (this is a good reason to serve the dressing on the side if you don't plan on eating the salad immediately).

Make ahead: Make ginger vinaigrette up to 48 hours ahead of time and store in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature  before using, and give it another good stir with a whisk or fork.
