What ingredients can I substitute in Shrimp and Mushroom Salad?

How should I store leftover Shrimp and Mushroom Salad?
Shrimp and Mushroom Salad can usually be portioned into airtight containers and refrigerated for 2 to 4 days depending on the ingredients used. Let it cool before sealing, and keep it refrigerated rather than at room temperature.
Can I freeze Shrimp and Mushroom Salad?

Can I scale Shrimp and Mushroom Salad up or down?
