Looking for a new way to enjoy hummus? Try turning it into a bright and zesty dressing!

This creamy hummus salad dressing comes together in minutes with hummus, olive oil, and lemon juice for fresh and vibrant flavor. It's perfect for tossing with greens and drizzling over grain bowls and roasted vegetables.

Like my lemony hummus pasta recipe, this dressing is great because it takes something you probably already have in your fridge and transforms it into something new. Think of this hummus salad dressing as what would happen if my lemon olive oil vinaigrette and a container of hummus had a baby. It's zippy, velvety, and incredibly easy to make.

Delicious! I was desperate one evening with a pasta veggie salad and wanted something different than vinegar or lemon and oil...when in the refrigerator I saw the hummus. Hmm! So I added oil and lemon juice and some fresh herbs and it saved the meal and the leftovers for the next day. Today I made it with your amounts and its even more delicious and I will continue using these amounts. Thank you.
