Sweet Chipotle Dressing


This sweet and spicy dressing is so good! I use it on green salads but it's original purpose is for a Spicy Slaw - which I plan on making soon. You could also toss it with diced mango or pineapple and red onion to make a great fresh salsa.

Sweet Chipotle Dressing
Makes 2 cups

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon diced yellow onion
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup diced fresh tomatoes
2/3 cup rice wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons pureed chipotle peppers in adobo
1/2 cup olive oil

Directions:
* Place all ingredients except oil in a blender or food processor, and blend till very smooth. Slowly add the oil in a thin stream while the blender or processor is still running and blend until all of the oil is incorporated and the vinaigrette is completely emulsified.
* The vinaigrette will keep for 3-5 days in an airtight container.
