Ingredients

• 0.25 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Pure maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 whole pepper Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the chipotle pepper. Remove one chipotle pepper from a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. Slice it open, remove the seeds for less heat (optional), and finely chop it.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the extra-virgin olive oil, pure maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard.

Step 3

Add in the finely chopped chipotle pepper, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the mixture in the bowl.

Step 4

Whisk the ingredients together vigorously until well combined and emulsified. Alternatively, you can combine the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

Step 5

Once the mixture is emulsified, add 1 tablespoon of water to dilute the dressing to your desired consistency. Whisk or blend again briefly.

Step 6

Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary by adding more salt or pepper.

Step 7

Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container. The dressing can be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Step 8

Before serving, shake or stir the dressing if it has separated during refrigeration.
