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
- 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.
- 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.
- Adjust seasoning: Taste the dressing and add more salt or pepper if needed to suit your preference.
- 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.
