- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup home preserved zesty salsa
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 avocado, sliced

Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and chopping fresh produce. Slice the avocado into thin wedges and set aside.
- Select a large serving platter or wide, shallow dish that can accommodate the nachos in a single layer for even distribution of toppings.
- Spread the tortilla chips across the platter in an even, slightly overlapping arrangement to create a solid base for the salad nachos.

- Distribute the diced tomatoes uniformly across the lettuce, ensuring each chip area will have a burst of fresh tomato flavor.
- Generously spoon the home preserved zesty salsa over the tomatoes, allowing the sauce to seep between the chips and add vibrant flavor.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the entire platter, covering the chips and other ingredients for a melty, rich texture.
- Arrange the avocado slices artfully across the top of the nachos, providing a creamy contrast to the crisp chips.
- Finish by garnishing with fresh cilantro leaves, which will add a bright, herbaceous note to the dish.
- Serve immediately to maintain the crispness of the tortilla chips and enjoy the layered flavors of this deconstructed nacho salad.
