Instructions
- Prepare the Dressing: In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, lime zest, lime juice, minced chipotle pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and salt.
- Whisk It Together: Whisk the ingredients until they are well combined. The dressing should be smooth and creamy with a hint of zestiness from the lime and a smoky undertone from the chipotle.
