Can I use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream?

Absolutely! I do this all the time when I want a lighter version. The tang is slightly different, but still delicious. Just use equal amounts - 1/4 cup Greek yogurt works perfectly. My trick? Let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes first so it blends smoother with the ranch.

How long does this salad last in the fridge?

The dressed salad (without Fritos) keeps beautifully for 2 days in an airtight container. The veggies might soften slightly, but the flavors actually improve! Just give it a stir and Fritos Fritos when you're ready to serve. Any longer and the tomatoes start getting too mushy for my taste.

Can I make this salad ahead of time?

You bet! I often prep everything the night before - just keep the dressing separate from the veggies and store the Fritos in a ziplock bag. When it's party time, combine the dressing with the salad, then top with Fritos. Works like a charm and saves you last-minute stress!
