Make the Salad
Thoroughly rinse produce and pat dry. Microwave corn until warm, 1-2 minutes. Add half the seasoning blend (reserve remaining for dressing) to corn and stir to combine. Mix remaining seasoning blend with dressing. Add spring mix and cheese to bowl with dressing and toss to combine. Top with tortilla strips and a dollop of sour cream. Bon appétit!
