Here is another southwestern rendition of ranch dressing, this time with chipotles, limes and cilantro. Has a delightful clean fresh taste and it’s great as a dressing or a dip.
INGREDIENTS
Mayonnaise
Buttermilk or sour cream
4 large spoonfuls of parmesan cheese
4 large spoonfuls of lime juice
4 large spoonfuls of pureed chipotle peppers
1 large spoonful of cilentro
1 spoonful of minced dried onion
1 spoonful of cumin
1 clove of garlic, pressed or minced
2 dashes of salt
1 dash of cayenne
DIRECTIONS
Mayonnaise to the ½ blue marks on the SaladSuccess Shaker
Buttermilk or sour cream to the top of the blue vinegar line
Add the rest of the ingredients
Shake vigorously and chill for ½ hour or more.
Reshake before serving
Once again, don’t squeeze out the dressing through the poppet top; just unscrew the top and pour over your salad.

Adapted from Newman’s Own Cookbook, this delightful cumin dressing is superb on grilled chicken salad or burritos. I usually add avocado, jicama, sweet red peppers and black beans. For a lighter taste you can replace the olive oil with canola oil. For those of you who don’t like a spicy dressing – cut back on the cumin.
INGREDIENTS
Oil or canola oil
Distilled white vinegar
Fresh strained lemon juice from 4 lemons
Dijon Mustard
Ground Cumin
Shallots
Salt & pepper
DIRECTIONS
Put 2 peeled shallots in the SaladSuccess Shaker for an infusion. For a faster infusion, cut shallots in half
Oil to the blue oil line
Vinegar to the top blue vinegar line
Add lemon juice
1 heaping tablespoon of Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons of ground cumin
Salt & pepper to taste
Shake vigorously in the SaladSuccess Shaker
