Notes

  • If you want the dressing to be spicier, add more chipotle peppers or adobo sauce.
  • If your store has chipotle adobo sauce without the peppers, you can use 2-3 tablespoons of that instead of the peppers and sauce.
  • Keep the dressing in a tightly sealed container in the fridge; it will be good for about a week.
  • Use the dressing on salads, tacos, wraps, or grilled vegetables to give them extra flavour.
