This sweet-hot vinaigrette is the star ingredient in our Smokin' Chipotle 'Slaw. For best flavor, make it a day ahead of time. Tossed with diced mango or pineapple and red onion, it makes a mean fresh salsa. Or use it as a dressing for hearty greens, like romaine or spinach.

• 1 tablespoon diced yellow onion
• 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
• ½ cup diced fresh tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
• 2/3 cup seasoned rice wine vinegar
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons Chipotle Purée
• ½ cup olive oil

Place all the ingredients, except the oil, in a blender or food processor, and blend until very smooth. Slowly add the oil, in a thin stream, while blender or processor is running and blend until all of the oil is incorporated and the vinaigrette is completely emulsified. The vinaigrette will keep for 3 to 5 days in an air-tight container.
