Easy Creamy Hummus Vinaigrette
Hummus vinaigrette salad dressing is a snap to make. It's delicious on all kinds of salads, from naked greens to those summery bean and grain salads you take to potlucks. Makes about 1 1/4 cups dressing.
Servings: 10 servings
Calories: 107kcal
Ingredients
- ¾ cup hummus, homemade or purchased
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon minced shallot (see note)
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon sweet or smoked paprika, optional (see note)
- Pinch cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Whisk the hummus and water together in a bowl.
- Add the minced shallot and lemon juice.
- Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking constantly, until all of the oil is mixed in.
- Whisk in the maple syrup, paprika, salt, and cayenne pepper.
Notes
- I used roasted red pepper hummus to make this recipe, which lent the dressing an inviting rosy color. When I make this dressing with classic hummus, I whisk in the paprika.
- If you don’t have shallots, substitute a minced clove of garlic.
