Creamy Chipotle Dressing Recipe (With Sour Cream)
This Chipotle Dressing Recipe is a thick creamy salad dressing made with sour cream, chipotle powder, olive oil, lemon juice, and seasonings. The smoky chipotle flavor gives the dressing a mild heat while still keeping it balanced enough for salads, wraps, grilled chicken, taco salad, and burrito bowls.
