Recipe Tips
For the best texture experience, serve this salad immediately after assembling. If you're planning to have leftovers, consider keeping the components separate and assembling individual portions just before eating. The Doritos will quickly absorb moisture and become soggy if left in the dressed salad for too long. For potlucks or gatherings, bring the components separately and assemble just before serving.
