Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • ¾ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 Chipotle in adobo + 1 tablespoon sauce
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin

Instructions

  • Combine all the ingredients in a jar, a high-sided container like a large measuring cup if using a hand/immersion blender, or use a traditional countertop blender.  If using a food processor, add the garlic and peppers first and give them a few pulses to roughly chop before adding the remaining ingredients.
  • Blend all the ingredients at high speed until the oil emulsifies and blends into the other ingredients.  The dressing will thicken slightly and be pale in color
  • Transfer to a dressing container for easy pouring and storage.  Store in an airtight container, in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  • If using a food processor, be sure to scrape down the sides for any pieces of chipotle pepper or garlic that end up on the sides so everything gets evenly blended.
  • If you are sensitive to spice, start with just one chipotle pepper in adobo, blend, taste, and then see if you'd like to add the second one.
