Measure all the ingredients. Blend all ingredients. Taste; add more honey if needed. The amount of honey can also be lessened from the start if you like a really strong vinegar taste. Sugar can be substituted for honey-start with 1 Tbl. Add the olive oil and blend well again.
Twist: Any type of lettuce and vegetable combinations pair wonderfully. Goes well with chicken or fish.
Soak the ancho chilies in hot water for 1 hour or in tap water over night. Drain well and remove the stems and seeds. Chop.
Blend with vinegar and strain. Add all the other ingredients and blend well. The oils can be added at the start.
If you want a little more kick add some crushed red chilies or cayenne pepper.
Twist: Used on pasta salad or greens of choice. For added heartiness, add chicken or beef.
