Creamy Chipotle-Lime Dressing (or Dip)

makes about 1 1/2 cups

5 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice

1 medium shallot, peeled and roughly chopped

1 small garlic clove, peeled and roughly chopped

1-2 teaspoons minced chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, or more to taste

1 teaspoon granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

3/4 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup sour cream (full-fat or light)

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

In a blender, process the lime juice, shallot, garlic, chipotle, sugar, cumin, salt and pepper until the shallot and garlic are finely chopped, about 15 seconds. Add the mayonnaise and sour cream and process until smooth, about another 15 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the blender. Add the chopped cilantro and process until just incorporated, about 2-3 seconds. Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use. Dressing can be made up to 4 days in advance. Enjoy!
