  • Layer your salad: When assembling your nacho salad, layer the ingredients in a way that makes it easy to eat. Start with a layer of chips, then add the vegetables, beans, cheese, and dressing. Repeat the layers until you have reached the desired height.
  • Serve immediately: Nacho salad is best served immediately after it is made. This will prevent the chips from getting soggy and the vegetables from wilting.
