Chili-Lime Mango Dressing

Sweet, Spicy, Tangy, Creamy – this dressing is a sure fire way to liven up any medley of mixed greens.  Add sliced oranges, dried cranberries, an avocado, some walnuts – whatever suits your fancy – and you’ve got yourself a unique and amazing salad.

Ingredients

1.  5oz full fat plain Greek yogurt (2% will work fine also, just not “low fat”)
2.  1 Egg
3.  2 limes – zested and juiced
4.  1 medium orange, zested (save the flesh for your salad)
5.  1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
6.  1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili powder (or to taste)
7.  Pinch of Kosher Salt
8. 1 Mango, peeled and finely chopped and divided into two piles
9.  Approximately 1 cup vegetable oil.

Instructions

1. Combine ingredients 1-7, plus one of the mango piles, into a food processor or cup that fits an immersion blender. Pulse everything a few times to combine.
2. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil, starting with a few drops at a time, until a thick emulsion begins to form.  Alternatively, use the immersion blender dressing trick:

3. Add the other mango pile to your dressing and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow to thicken up.  Dressing will keep in the fridge for up to 1 week.
