How to Make Chipotle Honey Vinaigrette Dressing Clone

  1. Combine 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon chipotle powder (or more, to taste), 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a blender.
  2. Blend on low speed for 10 seconds until just combined.
  3. With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil until emulsified.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more chipotle powder for extra heat, honey for sweetness, or lime juice for tang.
  5. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. This step is crucial for the best flavor!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
