I know what you're thinking: cold nachos?? But you’re going to have to trust me.. they are refreshing and tangy and exactly 0 heat required. The lettuce is a buffer so the chips stay crispy (but if you ask me, I love a bit of a soggy chip). If you’re really into the nacho format, fair, serve this as a dippable salad instead!

If you’re really not mentally preapred for cold nachos and are ok with a bit of oven time, I've got you covered in the FAQ below.

tips from rach.

make it GF: ✅ use gluten-free chips, and double-check your rotisserie chicken

make it DF: ✅ swap the greek yogurt for a DF yogurt, or use a little extra mayo in its place

simplify: 1. instead of making the pickle ranch, sub a good store-bought ranch dressing and stir in a splash of pickle brine.
