Storing your dressings in a mason jar with a tightly sealed lid is a great way to keep them fresh.

I'm on the fence on the dressing I'll pick. I love the idea of a spicy honey mustard, but am not a huge fan of Chipotle flavoring. Whether a simple spring salad, a grilled chicken salad, or a mango salsa salad, chipotle lime vinaigrette just works. Part tangy, party spicy, and a touch of sweet, this vinaigrette works perfectly with chicken, shrimp, or tropical fruits. I love Chipotle's chipotle honey vinaigrette so I came up with this copycat version by fiddling around with the ingredients listed on the Chipotle website.
