Mexican Caesar Dressing (Chopt Copycat): A Bold and Creamy Twist

Serving: This Mexican Caesar dressing is perfect for topping a salad, but it can also be used as a dipping sauce for tacos, roasted vegetables, or grilled meats.
Storage: Store any leftover dressing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. If it thickens in the fridge, you can thin it with a small amount of water or extra lime juice.
Variants:

Creamier Version: For an even richer texture, add an extra tablespoon of sour cream or a bit of buttermilk.
Vegetarian: Omit the Parmesan cheese and opt for nutritional yeast for a vegan-friendly version.
Extra Spicy: Add more chipotle peppers or a dash of hot sauce for additional heat.
FAQ:

Can I make this dressing ahead of time?
Yes, this dressing stores well in the fridge and can be made up to 2-3 days in advance.
Can I use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream?
Yes, Greek yogurt can be used as a healthier substitute for sour cream and will add a tangy flavor to the dressing.
What if I don’t have chipotle peppers?
If you don’t have chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, you can substitute with smoked paprika and a little extra cayenne pepper to achieve a similar smoky heat.
