Original Recipe Awesome Balsamic Hummus Salad Dressing...with 6 More Easy Hummus Salad Dressing Recipes

I wish hummus had a much cooler name or, at the very least, a name that accurately reflected how delicious it is! I’ve heard it made fun of in more than one movie. Despite the mockery, (let’s face it, vegans are used to mockery), hummus is one of my most favorite foods! (Actually, I’m truly in love with the chickpea in all its glory…see my recent post titled “The Best & Easiest Garbanzo Bean Salad…plus the Health Benefits of the ‘Chic’ Chickpea”) 

But I digress…Why do I love hummus? Maybe because it’s easy to just grab and start dipping all sorts of food in it, maybe because it can be flavored in many different ways, also it’s pretty easy to make—of course, because it’s loaded with all the benefits that chickpeas have to offer!  And the supermarkets and farmer’s markets are stocking so many varieties now. So convenient! 

Adding hummus to a dish somehow always seems to improve it. I decided to see if it would work its wonders as a base for salad dressing and, omg, this salad dressing is amazing! It's like the great dressings you get in a restaurant and you wonder how it's so much better than what you've been making at home.  And it can be made oil-free!
