Main Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for lighter version)
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine mayonnaise, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, fresh lime juice, honey, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. This ensures all flavors start blending evenly.
