- Pour the dressing over the mixed vegetables in the large bowl.
- Gently toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.

- Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- Serve the Fresh Fiesta Salad cold, and enjoy!

- Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
