- Prepare the creamy dressing by whisking together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl until smooth.
- Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss until everything is well coated.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice to preference.
- Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Notes
For added texture, consider adding diced avocados just before serving and adjust the spice level in the dressing as needed. Store dressing separately if making in advance to maintain freshness.
