This sweet-hot vinaigrette is the star ingredient in our yummy "Smokin' Chipotle 'Slaw". For best flavor, make it a day ahead of time. Tossed with mango or pineapple and red onion, it makes a mean fresh salsa. Or use it as a dressing for hearty greens, like romaine or spinach. Goes great with Chico de Mayo dishes. Starts the summer grilling season off well.
Sweet Chipotle Dressing
- 1 tablespoon diced yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 cup diced fresh tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 2/3 cup seasoned rice wine vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Chipotle Puree
- 1/2 cup olive oil
Place all the ingredients, except the oil, in a food processor or small chopper, and blend until very smooth. Slowly add the oil, in a fine drizzle, until all the oil is whipped up and the vinaigrette is completely blended or emulsified. The vinaigrette will keep a week in an airtight container.
Gokemon's Yummy "Smokin' Chipotle 'Slaw"
This 'slaw is perfect in fish tacos or as a side dish with grilled meats. You might just want to scarf it down on pulled pork sandwichs.
- 3 cups finely shredded white cabbage
- 2 cups finely shredded red cabbage
- 1 cup finely shredded carrots
- 3/4 cup Sweet Chipotle Dressing
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cabbage. Toss gently with the dressing to combine. Lets sit for a couple of hours in the chiller before serving. Only lasts around my house a day or so before its all eaten up.
