Tips:

  • Choose the right type of hummus: Look for a hummus that is made with high-quality ingredients and has a smooth, creamy texture. Avoid hummus that is grainy or has a sour taste.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, and basil add a lot of flavor to hummus salad dressing. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but they will not be as flavorful.

  • Taste and adjust: Be sure to taste your hummus salad dressing before you serve it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more lemon juice, salt, or pepper to taste.
