Notes

  • Serve this salad chilled for the best flavor and texture.

  • It pairs perfectly with grilled meats, tacos, fajitas, or as a refreshing side at any Mexican-inspired meal.

  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

  • Before serving leftovers, give the salad a gentle stir to redistribute the dressing and flavors.
