To prepare the Santa Fe salad, simply open the bag and empty the contents into a large bowl. First, add the lettuce blend. Then, sprinkle in the seasoned tortilla strips and any other dry toppings like corn or beans. Finally, drizzle the included dressing over the salad. Toss everything gently to ensure an even distribution of ingredients and dressing. It is best served immediately after tossing to maintain the crispness of the lettuce and tortilla strips.
