Hi all: We've been using this vinaigrette on everything, makes a great
potato salad with a little extra mayonnaise. It's from the Chris
Schlesinger cookbook, Lettuce in Your Kitchen. Hope you like it as much as
I do. Leslie.

In a small saucepan combine the orange juice & vinegar. Bring to a boil
over high heat; then, reduce the heat to mediumlow and simmer vigorously
until the liquid is reduced by 2/3, about 25 minutes.

Remove the liquid from the heat, and allow to cool to room temperature. Add
the mayonnaise and whisk together until well blended. Add the chipotle,
cilantro, cumin and lime juice; whisk together well. Season with salt and
pepper.

Yield: about 1 2/3 cups.

As a salad dressing: Toss with a Mexicanflavored salad made with romaine
lettuce, cut or sliced up avocado, tomato, red onion & cornbread croutons.

As a cold sauce: Drizzle over grilled chicken or fish, spoon over baked
sweet potatoes, or paint on bbq ribs.
