This Spicy Chipotle Greek Yogurt Dressing is a creamy and flavorful sauce that adds a smoky heat to tacos, sandwiches, burrito bowls, or serves as a delicious dipping sauce. Easy to make with just a few ingredients, it balances the creaminess of Greek yogurt and mayonnaise with the bold kick of chipotle peppers and a touch of sweetness.

Ingredients

Dressing Ingredients

  • ½ cup whole milk Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise (Sir Kensington’s recommended)
  • 1 chipotle pepper from a can of chipotles in adobo sauce
  • 1 garlic clove, peeled
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients: In a food processor, add the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, chipotle pepper, garlic clove, lime juice, olive oil, and honey or maple syrup. Season with a generous pinch of sea salt and several grinds of black pepper.
  2. Blend until smooth: Process all ingredients until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency, ensuring the chipotle pepper is fully incorporated for an even flavor.
  3. Adjust seasoning: Taste the dressing and add more salt or pepper if needed to suit your preference.
  4. Serve or store: Use immediately as a condiment for tacos, sandwiches, burrito bowls, or as a dipping sauce. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

  • Vegan option: Replace the Greek yogurt and mayonnaise with ¾ cup vegan mayo (Sir Kensington’s Fabanaise suggested).
  • Use maple syrup instead of honey to keep the dressing fully vegan.
  • This dressing keeps well refrigerated for up to one week.
  • Adjust the number of chipotle peppers for more or less heat, depending on preference.
