Chipotle-Lime Dressing

A little bit of spicy, sweet, tangy, creamy perfection. It's the dressing you've always wanted but didn't know you needed. P.S. it could totally be used as a sauce, in fact that's encouraged. 

Equipment

Here's everything you need to make chipotle-lime dressing at home:

• blender (preferably immersion)
• if you don't have a blender, you can use a chef's knife and cutting board

Cooking Tips

1.  Careful, she's spicy! The recipe calls for 3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, but it does pack a bit of a kick. If you're sensitive to spice, use 2 peppers. If you're a baby to spice, use 1 🙂 
2.  Don't be afraid to add water. This dressing is on the thick side, so if that's not your vibe add a little bit of water to help loosen it up. Taste and adjust seasoning with every splash of water to make sure it's still tasting yummy. 
3. Serve it with... roasted sweet potato and halloumi salad or weeknight steak burritos.
