Chipotle, garlic and lime are combined in this homemade salad dressing to create a crazy flavorful Chipotle Vinaigrette that you are going to love.
Whether you’re drizzling it over a simple garden salad, or a hearty taco salad, this salad dressing is a keeper.

You’ll want to check back soon because I have a fantastic Southwest Steak Salad to share later this week that pairs perfectly with the Chipotle Vinaigrette. I recommend shaking together a jar of this dressing now, so you’ll have it ready to go when you make the salad.
If you’ve been hanging out with me here for very long, you already know just how much I love making my own salad dressings. Just about any salad can be wonderfully dressed up with a great dressing.
I love having salads made-ahead in the fridge for easy lunches and having a variety of dressings waiting in the fridge keeps it interesting.
I am lowkey obsessed with this dressing now! I made it on a whim to dress a cabbage salad I was taking to a potluck since I had some limes I needed to use up, and I already had all the other ingredients in my pantry, and now I can’t stop making it!
