Zesty Hummus Dressing


Sorry I didn't post a 2nd time like I said I would yesterday. I have been having some glitches with blogger the last couple of days. I'm actually typing this in HTML now because it's the only way the editor will let me create a new post. I apologize if the last couple of posts look funky.

Yesterday was really gloomy and rainy and by the end of the day I just didn't feel like doing anything. I didn't even know what I wanted to eat. I had this simple salad. I decided to take some hummus and make it into a dressing. It was a success! Check out what I threw in my blender and used on my salad...

1/4 C Hummus (I used Trader Joe's Red Pepper Hummus)
1 t Dijon Mustard
3 T Lemon Juice
2 T Minced Garlic
2 t Maple Syrup
Handful of Nutritional Yeast
Handful of Hemp Seeds
Squirt of Coconut Aminos
Splash of Pumpkin Oil
Water as needed

  2. This sounds really tasty. They make hummus salad dressings that are pretty pricey, this is a much better option. Love the addition of mustard!!

  3. Sounds delicious. I often just plop straight hummus onto my salads, but this sounds much better. Haha.

    1. The weather can't make up it's mind here! Last night there was a tornado in our area! Maybe more than one they aren't sure yet.
