Step 1
Start by combining the anchovy fillets, garlic, lime juice, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, black pepper, chipotle pepper, capers, and hot sauce in a blender. Blend everything together until the mixture is nice and smooth. While the blender is running, slowly pour in the oil so it blends in and creates a creamy texture. Next, do the same with the vinegar, adding it gradually until it’s fully mixed in. If the dressing feels a bit too thick, just thin it out by stirring in a little water until you reach your desired consistency. Give it a quick taste and adjust any seasoning if needed before serving.
Why you’ll love it
This dressing brings a fresh twist to a classic favorite with bold flavors and a creamy texture. It’s made from simple ingredients you likely have at home, making it easy to whip up anytime. The blend of zesty lime and smoky spices adds a unique kick that brightens up any salad.
How to serve
This dressing pairs wonderfully with crisp romaine lettuce, grilled chicken, or shrimp. It also works well drizzled over roasted vegetables or as a dip for crunchy tortilla chips. Add some freshly grated Parmesan and homemade croutons to complete the dish.
Storage & leftovers
Keep the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Stir or shake well before each use, as some separation may occur naturally. Avoid freezing, as it can change the texture and flavor.
