For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce to the salad dressing. If you prefer a lighter dressing, substitute plain Greek yogurt or sour cream for half of the mayonnaise. To prevent the corn chips from becoming soggy, serve the salad immediately after adding them. Alternatively, serve the chips on the side and allow guests to add them to their individual portions. Feel free to experiment with other types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack, for a different flavor profile. This salad can be prepared ahead of time, but be sure to add the corn chips just before serving.
