How long does this creamy apple and cucumber salad last?

This salad keeps very well. Pack leftovers (I seriously doubt there will be any leftovers) in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to two days. But abeg ooo my fellow Nigerians, if you are not sure of having constant power supply for two days then store for just one day in a cold refrigerator.
