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

- 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.
