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.
Ingredients
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 3 T chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 3 T lime juice
- 2 T honey
- 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.
