Chipotle Honey Mustard Dressing

There are many delicious uses for chipotle honey mustard dressing. Yes, it’s great on salads, but don’t stop there. That smoky chipotle pepper flavor, mustard tang, and honey sweetness make a perfect trio as a sandwich spread, a burger topping, or a chicken finger dip. It’s a dressing with a relatively bold flavor, so it works with BBQ of many types. And we’re a sucker for it with sweet potato fries, but it works with potatoes of nearly all types.

Chipotle Honey Mustard Dressing
Chipotle honey mustard dressing is versatile – salads, burgers, sandwiches, chicken fingers, and more

We use a full teaspoon of chipotle powder in this recipe. It’s not super-hot, but not exactly mild spiciness either. Chipotle peppers are smoked, dried red jalapeños, so the heat is the same range (a medium-heat 2,500 to 8,000 Scoville heat units.) If you prefer to temper the spiciness (at least to start), use half a teaspoon of chipotle powder and add to taste.

Like all condiments, this dressing keeps well in the fridge when stored in an airtight container.
