Ingredients:

Serving

1 medium mild anaheim chili, roasted and seeded
3 tbsp roasted pumpkin seeds ( pepitas
1 1/2 cups packed fresh cilantro leaves
1 large garlic clove
1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1/4 tsp salt
2/3 cup salad oil
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
4 tbsp grated cotija cheese
2/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp water
1/4 tsp ground cumin (optional) or 1/2 tsp dry roasted whole cumin seed (optional)

Directions:

NOTE: I have also used a combination of vegan mayonnaise, sour cream and/or plain yogurt with this recipe, using up what I have on hand.
Add all ingredients to blender and blend until smooth. (Or use an hand held immersion blender to blend. ).
For thinner salad dressing, add more water. Adjust seasonings if necessary.
The thicker version of this dressing makes a delicious topping for fish tacos, tostadas; or as a dip for tortilla chips, etc.
Best if prepared at least an hour in advance.
Yield is estimated.
