Main Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 0.25 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp honey add more for a sweeter finish
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp finely minced chipotle in adobo use less for mild heat
  • 1 tsp adobo sauce from the can
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 0.75 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.25 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp water thin to desired consistency

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Whisk the vinegar, lime juice, honey, mustard, chipotle, adobo sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  • Slowly stream in the olive oil while whisking until emulsified and glossy.
  • Stir in the water to loosen the dressing to a pourable consistency.
  • Taste and adjust salt, pepper, or honey. Let sit 5 minutes to meld flavors.

Notes

Variation: Swap red wine vinegar for apple cider vinegar, or add 1 tbsp fresh orange juice for a citrusy twist. For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey. Storage: Refrigerate up to 1 week; shake well before using as separation is natural.
