Chipotle Salad Dressing
I love Chipotle. It’s where I go when I want a cheat day. And by “cheat day,” I mean that I have rice. Living life on the edge! This is basically what’s going through my head those days:
So when I tried their new salad dressing, I was hooked. Except that it was a bit too sweet and a bit too salty for my taste. Also, they used adobo sauce – which sometimes contains gluten due to “natural flavors.” There was only one thing to be done. Make my own. So I did. And it’s fabulous and my new favorite. I really want to try it as a wings marinade next – tailgating season is right around the corner!
Chipotle Salad Dressing
- ¼ cup Raw Honey
- ½ cup Red Wine Vinegar
- 1 tbsp Adobo Seasoning
- 1 tbsp Dried Oregano
- ¾ tsp Black Pepper
- 1 1/3 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Mix all ingredients in a blender or using a hand mixer, slowly drizzling in oil at the end. Or, do what I do and put everything in a mason jar, seal with a rubber-rimmed lid and shake it like crazy until the honey is dissolved. Note: Ingredients will separate between use and it can be stored in a sealed container for up to two weeks in the fridge.
What is the adobo seasoning?
Adobo seasoning is a seasoning blend that is nice and smoky! You can buy a pre-made seasoning blend from stores like Whole Foods or, can make your own:
1/4 cup sweet paprika
3 tablespoons ground black pepper
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons dried oregano (preferably Mexican)
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon chipotle chile powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
Mix well and store in a sealed jar for future use.
