    Simply add all of the ingredients to a food processor or blender (I love this mini food processor) and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the salt, lime, or jalapeño as necessary to suit your taste.

    What To Eat It With

    • This dressing is perfect for slathering on salads, like my smoky chicken and sweet potato kale salad.
    • Dip everything! Fresh veggies, tortilla chips, or my goat cheese sweet potato cakes are good places to start.
    • Pour on grain bowls for another layer of flavor.
    • Drizzle onto tacos or wraps, like my chipotle shrimp tacos!
