In a small bowl, whisk together the smoked paprika, ground cumin, olive oil, fresh lime juice, honey, and salt to create the dressing.

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Step 7

Just before serving, sprinkle the crushed tortilla chips on top to add a crunchy texture.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy the balance of cool, crisp flavors with a smoky, spicy kick.
