Top Your Next Salad with This!

If you head down the condiment aisle in the grocery store you’ll notice that the salad dressing industry is booming.  It used to be that there were just a handful of varieties and more often than not, you were reaching for the Ranch or Italian version from the brand of your choice.  Now it can take 5 minutes to just narrow down the choices.  While I appreciate the convenience of pre-made salad dressing, I still choose to make my own.  Why?  Well, because like most of the other food I make, I know what’s going in it.  It’s also almost always cheaper and it doesn’t even take that long to make.  One of my favorites it’s a creamy, spicy chipotle dressing.  Not only is it great on salad, but it’s also delicious tossed with cold pasta and veggies for a Southwest pasta salad.  You can also use it as a spread for sandwiches or wraps.  It can be a fun swap for sour cream in tacos or other Mexican dishes.  It’s worth a shot and who knows, maybe you’ll find yourself skipping that condiment aisle at your next trip to the grocery!
