Servings 16
Ingredients
- ½ cup red wine vinegar
- Heaping ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons fine sea salt
- 2-3 chipotles in adobo plus 1 tablespoon of the adobo sauce from the can (see notes)
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 ½ teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
- Add all ingredients except the oil, oregano, and black pepper to a food processor or blender.
- Blend on high. With the blender or food processor running, slowly stream in the oil until the dressing is emulsified and thickened. If desired, continue slowly adding more oil for a thicker dressing.
- With the machine off, fold in the oregano and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
- Transfer to a quart jar or other airtight container and refrigerate for 2-4 days.
Notes
If your store sells chipotle adobo sauce (just the sauce without the peppers), you can use 2-3 tablespoons of that in place of the peppers and sauce.
For a spicier dressing, use more chipotles and/or adobo sauce.
Note that this dressing will eventually separate and be hard to shake back together, so I recommend using it within 2-4 days. You can halve the recipe for a smaller batch if desired.
Makes 1 quart.
