Notes
STORE your Southwest Salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator; it will stay fresh for about 3-5 days.
It's best not to freeze this salad, as the crisp vegetables and lettuce will become soggy and lose their texture when thawed. For the best flavor, it tastes best chilled, so refrigerate it until ready to serve.
