Notes

Make sure to drain the salsa to prevent a soggy dip.
Use a salad spinner to dry your lettuce and keep it crisp.
For a spicier kick, consider using jalapeños or a hot salsa.
You can prepare this dish up to a day in advance, but add fresh toppings just before serving to maintain their crunch. Enjoy the fun of building this beautiful dip as a part of your next gathering!
