🥚Eggs🥛MilkSwaps and substitutions
For a dairy-free version, swap the Pepper Jack, sour cream, and ranch for plant-based alternatives or use a tangy vinaigrette instead. To make it egg-free, choose a ranch-style dressing made without egg and keep the rest of the salad as is.
What to serve with it
Serve it with warm tortillas or tortilla chips and extra lime wedges to turn it into a fuller Tex-Mex spread. A side of grilled corn or simple avocado slices adds balance and cools the heat.
