2 tablespoons honey

1-2 teaspoons chipotle in adobo sauce (adjust based on desired spiciness)

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 clove garlic, minced

Salt and black pepper to taste

Optional: 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Optional: Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar, honey, chipotle in adobo sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic.

Whisk together until well mixed, ensuring the honey dissolves fully.

Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously to emulsify the dressing.

Taste and season with salt and black pepper to preference. If desired, add lime juice for an extra zest.

If using, stir in chopped cilantro for added flavor.

Transfer the vinaigrette to a sealed jar or container. Allow it to sit for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
