How to Make
It’s a snap to make. You’ll need 1 cup of plain unsweetened yogurt, 1/2 cup real honey, 1 chipotle pepper in adobo, the juice of 1 lime and 1 tsp+ of salt.
Place all of the ingredients except 1 tsp. of salt in your blender and blend until the chipotle pepper has evenly incorporated. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to concentrate.
The flavor is mildly hot. Add a second chipotle pepper if you want a hotter salsa. Another chipotle also gives it a nice red color.
