Ingredients
  

  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo plus extra adobo sauce for added heat
  • 1/2 cup avocado oil or any neutral oil of choice
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 garlic clove peeled
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Method
 

Blend the Dressing:
  1. In a high-speed blender, combine the avocado oil, honey, lime juice, red wine vinegar, chipotle peppers, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Blend on high for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until the mixture becomes silky smooth and takes on a vibrant orange hue.
Adjust and Serve:
  1. Pour the vinaigrette into a mixing bowl or an airtight container. Stir in the dried oregano, allowing its earthy aroma to infuse the dressing. Taste and adjust the seasoning by incorporating more salt, pepper, or adobo sauce to match your preferred level of heat and depth of flavor.
Storage:
  1. Transfer the vinaigrette into a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid and store it in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before each use to redistribute the flavors.
