Jen's Chipotle Ranch

Mayo:
1 cup light tasting oil
1 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice
1 tsp yellow mustard
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsp aquafaba

Chipotle seasonings:
1/3 cup onion
3-4 garlic cloves
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp Chipotle powder
1/4 tsp dried dill
1/4 of a lime, juiced
1/4 tsp black salt (optional)

Place mayo ingredients in a tall glass or other container. Using a stick blender, blend from the bottom and slowly raise the blender upwards until all ingredients are emulsified and incorporated.

Next, add all the Chipotle ingredients and blend until smooth. Store in the refrigerator. The dressing will thicken in the fridge, so add more coconut milk or water if needed, to get a thinner consistency.
