Instructions

In a small bowl, combine ½ cup of hummus, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, and 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil.

Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon (or add a splash of vinegar) into the bowl and add a pinch of salt.

Mix the ingredients together until well combined.

If the dressing is too thick, add 2-4 tablespoons of water, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.

Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt or lemon juice if desired.

Use the dressing immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Emulsification Mastery 🥄
Whisk the dressing ingredients vigorously in a circular motion to create a smooth, well-integrated emulsion that prevents separation.
Hummus Quality Matters 🥜
Choose a high-quality, creamy hummus as the base - preferably freshly made or from a premium brand to ensure rich, authentic flavor.
Lemon Juice Technique 🍋
Always use fresh-squeezed lemon juice rather than bottled, and add it gradually to balance the acidity and prevent overwhelming the other flavors.
Oil Drizzling Pro Tip 💧
Slowly stream in the extra-virgin olive oil while whisking continuously to create a perfectly smooth and emulsified dressing.
Flavor Layering Trick 🌿
Add a pinch of fresh herbs like chopped parsley or za'atar to elevate the dressing's complexity and bring out the nutty hummus flavor.
