Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce from a can; add one at a time to reach the heat you want
- 2 tablespoons lime juice about 1 lime
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 3/4 teaspoon dried parsley
- 3/4 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
- 3 to 6 tablespoons water start with 3 and add more until the dressing pours but does not run thin
Instructions
- Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, chipotle peppers, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, dried dill, kosher salt and 3 tablespoons of the water to a food processor or blender. Blend until completely smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add more water, a little at a time, up to 6 tablespoons in all, until the dressing is pourable but not too thin. If it gets too thin, blend in an extra tablespoon of mayonnaise or sour cream. Taste and add more salt if you like.
- Serve right away, or pour the dressing into a bottle or jar with a lid and refrigerate.
Notes
Refrigerate in a sealed jar at 40°F or below and use within 3 to 4 days. Do not freeze. The heat builds as it sits; stir in a splash of water if it thickens.
