Notes

  • Crunch Tip: Always add Fritos right before serving to keep them crispy. For gatherings, serve chips on the side.
    Make Ahead Friendly: The salad base can be made up to 24 hours in advance—just stir and add chips before serving.
    Cheese Swap: Sharp cheddar gives the best flavor, but Colby-Jack or Mexican blend works well too.
    Lighter Option: Use light mayonnaise or substitute half the mayo with sour cream or Greek yogurt.
    Add-Ins: Diced jalapeños, green onions, or a squeeze of lime juice add extra flavor.
    Serving Idea: Perfect as a BBQ side dish, potluck favorite, or picnic salad.
