This is the salad dressing I often crave from our neighborhood Chipotle restaurant due to its mouth explosion of flavors.
The smoky spiciness of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce which is the key ingredient foils the sweetness of honey that complements the tanginess of red wine vinegar.
Chipotle Honey Vinaigrette:
I love this Chipotle Salad dressing, so I trolled the internet to create a copycat version while fiddling around with the ingredients.
It's super easy, just throw everything in your blender or food processor and voila! You just whipped up a signature flavor that most people like.

- 6 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- ¼ cup honey
- ¾ cup vegetable oil
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano or cumin
- 1-½ teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 pcs chipotle peppers in adobo sauce you can add more for a little kick
- 2 cloves small garlic cloves roughly chopped
Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients in a blender or mini food processor and process until smooth.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

You can store this honey chipotle dressing in the fridge to chill, and it will thicken up and taste almost identical to the original dressing.
You can spice things by adding extra chipotle pepper or add a teaspoon of adobo sauce for earthier flavor for chipotle salad dressing ingredients.
