To make the dressing, combine sour cream with salsa, cumin, and salt. Juice half a lime and whisk into the dressing. If your salsa is chunky and you'd like a more uniform dressing, simply puree using a blender or immersion blender.
For the salad, cook corn via your favorite method. You can grill or boil it right on the cobb then cut it off for this salad, or simply steam from frozen.
You can add your beans straight up like I did, or first warm the beans with a spoonful or so of taco seasoning for even more flavor! Both methods are marvelous.
Chop all your veggies up super small for a little bit of goodness in every bite. Finely chop romaine lettuce, bell pepper, and tomatoes, and thinly chop/slice green onion. Jalapeño can be thinly siced (spicy!) or seeded and chopped for a milder kick. Combine with black beans, corn, crushed tortilla chips, and grated cheese. Toss to mix.
For a little dressing in every bite, toss salad in a few tablespoons of dressing and mix to coat right before serving. Serve with extra toppings/dressing on the size for a custom salad.
