mexican-chipotlelimeyogurtsalsaOut of the ordinary yogurt salsa prepared with smoky chipotle in adobo, tart lime, and sweet honey. Perfect for fish tacos, carne asada, or bistec. Try as a vegetable dip or a spicy salad dressing.

1 cup plain yogurt, without sugar added
½ cup pure honey
1 chipotle chile in adobo
1 lime, freshly juiced
1 tsp. sea salt

Place all of the ingredients except 1 tsp. of sea salt in your blender. Blend until the chipotle pepper has evenly incorporated.

Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavours to concentrate.

Makes 1½ cups.

Cook's Notes:

  • Add a second chipotle is you want a spicier salsa.
  • Reduce the honey by half if you prefer a less sweet salsa.
