Chipotle Vinaigrette Recipe

• Lime Juice. Use fresh squeezed lime juice for this dressing. You’ll need 3-4 large juicy limes for this recipe. Don’t use the bottled stuff. 
• Olive Oil.  I use extra-virgin olive oil, but you could use avocado oil if you prefer.
• Garlic.  Garlic always adds a nice flavor to salad dressings!
• Honey. We use clover honey to sweeten this vinaigrette with.
• Adobo Sauce. We add just enough adobo sauce for flavor not heat. If you want a spicier dressing, then add more adobo sauce to your liking. You could use chipotle powder instead of canned sauce. If using dried chipotle powder, start off by adding 1 teaspoon and add to your personal taste.
• Seasoning.  A little cumin powder, salt and pepper is all you’ll need to season this dressing with.
