When it comes to salads, a bold dressing can elevate even the simplest greens to something truly spectacular. This recipe showcases the Mondu Chipotle Hot Sauce in a delightful raspberry-lime vinaigrette, blending sweet, smoky, and tangy notes. Fresh raspberries, lime juice, and honey form the perfect balance, while a drizzle of olive oil smooths everything out. The star ingredient, Mondu Chipotle Hot Sauce, adds just the right amount of smoky heat, creating a dressing that’s as versatile as it is delicious. With just a few pulses of a blender, you’ll have a zesty, flavor-packed dressing.
Paired with crisp red apple slices, vibrant mixed greens, and the crunch of pumpkin seeds and pecans, this salad is a great combination of textures and flavors. Sweet apples and creamy ricotta crumbles perfectly complement the chipotle heat, while thin slices of red onion provide a savory bite.
Whether you’re serving this dish as a light lunch or a show-stopping side, we love how a standout ingredient like Mondu Chipotle Hot Sauce can transform an everyday salad into something extraordinary with this delicious dressing.
