Chipotle Lime Dressing
I like to make this to drizzle over my Avocado Grapefruit Salad, but it’s equally great for any southwest or Mexican salad. The chipotle peppers provide a little heat and the lime juice provides brightness. Use fresh lime juice if you can; otherwise, bottled will do, but you might need to add a touch more honey to balance it out.
The lime and the honey really shine in this dressing. So yum. Try it as a drizzle over braised bean and cheese burritos!
Ingredients
½ cup sour cream
3 T lime juice
½ cup mayonnaise
2 T honey
3 T chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
½ t smoked paprika
Instructions
Put everything into a small blender cup and blend until smooth or use an immersion blender. If necessary, add water a teaspoon at a time to reach desired consistency.
If you aren’t using a blender, put the chipotles into the bowl and mash them with a fork until they are pureed, then add the mayonnaise and sour cream and stir until smooth and creamy. Finally, add the lime, honey, and paprika. Add water a teaspoon at a time to reach desired consistency.
