Like that proverbial little black dress, it’s important to have a collection of delicious salad dressings at the ready. You never know.
This Chipotle Honey Vinaigrette is a great candidate for your salad dressing repertoire. It’s mildly spicy, mildly sweet and mildly tangy. In other words, it is pretty darn perfect.
This recipe, inspired by the Chipotle Honey Vinaigrette from The Chipotle Mexican Grill, came from the website Once Upon a Chef and the original recipe can be found here.
Here is the recipe as I prepared it in my kitchen.
