Whole30 Copycat Chipotle Vinaigrette
Description
The recipe rehydrates dried chipotle peppers and dates in boiling water before blending them with red wine vinegar, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and water. The gradual streaming of olive oil while blending creates a creamy yet pourable vinaigrette that combines smoky, spicy, sweet, and tangy flavors well.
This dressing brings a smoky heat balanced by natural sweetness from the dates and spice from the dried herbs and cumin. Its smooth texture suits drizzling over greens, grilled items, or as a flavorful marinade base.
It is best stored refrigerated in an airtight container and shaken before each use to maintain smoothness and flavor distribution. Using dried chipotle peppers provides the signature smoky depth without added sugars or additives.
