Holy Moly Spicy Chipotle Dressing

This is an intentionally spicy dressing because I tend to prefer things hot enough to make my eyes water. To me, the half teaspoon of chipotle powder gives this a medium amount of heat, though I suspect that some people will find it too hot while others will find it mild. So adjust the amount of chipotle to fit your taste.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

1/2 cup plain unsweetened almond milk
4 teaspoons ground flaxseed
2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/4 medjool date
1 clove garlic
1 teaspoon white miso or salt
2 teaspoons tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili powder or chipotle chiles in adobo
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
additional milk or water as needed

Method

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend on high speed until smooth. Let it sit for a minute and then check the thickness. However thick it is now, it will be much thicker after refrigerating, so add more non-dairy milk or water to thin it, if necessary.
Pour into a bottle or jar and refrigerate to thicken 2. and allow flavors to develop.

Notes

If you’re worried that this might be too hot for you, blend up all the ingredients except the chipotle powder; then add it little by little, tasting as you go, until you find the right amount of spiciness.
