Sweet Chipotle Dressing
This sweet-hot vinaigrette is the star ingredient in Chevy’s Smokin’ Chipotle Slaw. For best flavor make a day ahead of time. Makes a delicious fresh salsa when tossed with pineapple and red onion. Use as a dressing for hearty greens such as romaine or spinach.
1 T. diced yellow Onion
1 T. chopped Garlic
2 T. Dijon Mustard
¼ tsp. Cumin
½ C. diced fresh Tomatoes
2 T. chopped Cilantro
2/3 C. seasoned Rice Wine Vinegar
¼ tsp. Black Pepper
1 tsp. Salt
2 T. Honey
2 T. Chipotle Puree
½ C. Olive Oil
Place all ingredients except oil in blender or food processor; process until very smooth. Slowly add oil in a thin stream while the blender/processor is still running and blend until all of the oil is incorporated and the vinaigrette is completely emulsified. This will keep in the refrigerator 3 to 5 days.
