Peel and mince the garlic clove finely.
In a blender or food processor, combine the minced garlic, maple syrup, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard.
Blend the mixture on high speed until the chipotle peppers are fully incorporated, about 30 seconds.
With the blender or food processor running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Continue blending until the dressing is well emulsified, about another 30 seconds.
Season the dressing with salt and black pepper, and blend briefly to combine.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to taste.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Shake or stir well before serving. Store any leftover dressing in the refrigerator for up to one week.
