Notes

Serve this salad fresh from the bowl, either in individual plates or family-style in one big bowl. You can add extra ranch dressing on the side for those who want more. Pairs well with crusty bread or crispy tortilla chips for a bit of crunch. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container. Keep the salad and dressing separate to prevent sogginess. It can stay in the fridge for up to 2 days. Give it a good toss before serving again.
