Its better than Chipotles signature dressing.

My boyfriend (now husband) worked just a few blocks away.

Every once in a while, we would split the difference and meet for lunch at the Midtown Chipotle.

It felt fancy, frivolous (on an intern’s salary!

), and broke up the monotony of the work day.

You may be asking yourself, who goes to Chipotle and gets a salad?

I put a slight spin on their original recipe to develop a universal vinaigrette I use on almost everything.

Tightly sealed, the dressing will keep for up to a week in the fridge.

What Is This Chipotle Honey Vinaigrette Made Of?

Its a bit spicy thanks to the chipotle in adobo, but the honey balances everything out.

The flavor will be almost exactly the same, it just wont have the signature bright orange color.

Process for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until smooth and bright orange.

Transfer the dressing to a bowl or airtight container.

Whisk in the dried oregano.

Taste, adding more salt, pepper, and/or adobo sauce until it reaches your preferred flavor.

Store in a jar in the fridge for up to a week.
