Notes
- Use a pre-made spice mix- You can buy a pre-made mix or just make your own. By doubling the amounts and storing the leftover, you'll always have some at the ready.
- Chop the ingredients ahead of time- Doing this saves you assembly time, especially when it comes to shredding the cheese and lettuce. Store in the fridge until mealtime.
- Don't assemble until ready to serve- The tomatoes and lettuce will quickly lose water and cause the salad to become soggy if made too early. Wait until serving time to assemble.
