Notes

If you're out of cheese, try adding toasted nuts for crunch. Swap beef for grilled chicken or tofu for a vegetarian option!
Don't hesitate to add seasonal vegetables like bell peppers or cucumbers for added color and texture!
This salad is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Just keep the dressing separate until ready to serve to maintain crunchiness.
