Chili Lime Dressing
Our creamy chili lime dressing is zesty, a little spicy, absolutely packed with flavor, and comes together in just 5 minutes. While it’s based off of Panera’s version that sadly no longer exists, we’ve found far more uses for it than just salads from vegetarian southwest black bean sliders to burrito bowls.
Equipment
- Glass bottle optional
Ingredients
- ½ cup light mayo
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon ground red cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon chipotle powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Add mayo, lime juice, and water to a small bowl and whisk gently until combined.
- Add remaining ingredients and whisk thoroughly until well-combined. Transfer to a glass bottle or other airtight container for storage, or use immediately.
Notes
Consistency: The lime juice and water help thin the mayo so it becomes pourable. Lime juice is potent, though, so if you want this dressing thinner just add more water.
Serving suggestions: Use this dressing on salads, burrito bowls, and tacos. It'll add some heat and zest to any of these dishes!
Storing: Store this dressing in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month (just remember to give it a quick shake before using again). We use these glass bottles to store dressings, sauces, and syrups we make at home - they're great! We definitely recommend having a set if you like to make these types of things frequently, too.
