How long does it last?

I made salmon sandwiches Friday night and still have some salmon/mayo/
onion mixed up in the fridge...covered. How long is this good before
going bad?

48 hours should be no problem. After that I'd be a little leery.

The Nose Rule and 3-Day Rule have always worked for my family. If you
can smell[1] it, don't eat it. If it's been over three days since you
made it, toss it.

[1] "Smell" in this instance means offensive; nose-crinkling,
eye-burning, methane-based, and musty.

What do you expect to smell besides FISH & ONIONS! Salmon salad would
need to be in the fridge a whole lot longer than three days before the
human nose would detect spoilage. I'd save it no more than two days,
but if it has raw onion mixed in I'd not save it more than 24 hours...
even if it's not spoiled (and probably won't be) it'll still smell
awful. Nothing turns me off more than the stench of raw onion been cut
more than an hour or so ago... I never save cut raw onion, I use it
all, any part not used goes directly into the composter. When I buy
onions I choose a variety of sizes... I choose a goodly portion that
are smaller than golf balls.

Add a few drops of red hot sauce and some chopped dill to it. Get out
some crackers, invite somebody over for whatever is on Sunday afternoon
television, and you'll be rid of it. -aem

Hey, that's a good idea for next time as I think I'm going out for the
afternoon. But I'm sure I'll try that anyway and not likely as a
leftover...

If the stench is so strong as to prevent me from eating, I'd say that it
fails the Nose Test. And 3-days of sliced, raw onions (to me) will be
overpowering.

I expected nothing less from your supreme lack of imagination. You'll
continue your obnoxious bawling long after so there's no reason to
continue from my end.

Seems awfully short. If you are thinking that the mayo makes it more prone
to spolage, that's false. Commercial mayo actually [censored] spoilage because
it is acidic.

To me it's not the mayo, it's the fish...
Fish spoils pretty quick. Well covered, I'd not keep a fish salad around
for more than 3 days. Chicken salad, maybe 5 days.

Ew!

I'd NEVER put raw minced onion in a meat salad!
The flavor is too overwhelming...

Which flavor is too overwhelming, the meat or the salad? Perhaps you
just don't like raw onions, regardless. Diced onion goes perfectly in
tuna salad. And I've never heard anyone describe the flavor of canned
tuna as mild... but then again, mea culpa, I didn't consider those who
subsist primarily on ripe n' rank roadkill. hehe

Well the deli I go to has a policy of giving any salad that's made
there on the premises a 5 day shelf life. This is assuming that proper
storing and sanitation techniques have been followed. The Board of
Health gave them an A rating so I'm assuming they're doing everything
right.
