• For the salad dressing. Combine sour cream, salsa, the juice of half a lime, chile powder, cumin and salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Every salsa is a little different so you may need to add more salsa or add more sour cream to reach the desired consistency for your dressing. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper.
