Notes

  • Adjust the spice level – For a milder dressing, remove the jalapeño seeds; for more heat, leave them in. You could also use only half a jalapeno, or two jalapenos depending on your preferences.
  • Chill before Serving - Let the dressing sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, this will really help all the flavors combine and come together so nicely.
