I love making my own oil-free/low-oil salad dressings but I don't always have the time or energy to get out my blender. Sometimes I just want a super quick dressing I can whisk together in less than 1 minute. And that, friends, was the inspiration for this Hummus Dressing!

Not only is this WFPB dressing quick and easy, but it's flavorful, creamy, and delicious! I love drizzling it over salads, buddha bowls, and roasted veggies. As a bonus, this recipe is high in protein but low in fat, making it ideal for a light meal.

Why does this recipe make such a small amount?

I created this recipe to be easy enough to whip up for a quick lunch. You can easily double or triple the recipe for a larger quantity.

Where can I get oil-free hummus?

If you want to keep this recipe oil-free you will need to use oil-free hummus. I make my own following this easy oil-free hummus recipe.

If you prefer to use store-bought hummus but still want to keep it oil-free, be sure to check the label. There are a few brands of oil-free hummus, like Oasis Mediterranean and a few others, but you'll have to check your local grocery store for availability.

If neither of those options appeals to you, don't sweat it! Even if you do use a store-bought brand of hummus with oil, this salad dressing will still have less oil than a typical oil-based dressing.

Can I use other hummus flavors?

I have only tested this recipe with regular hummus, but I imagine roasted red pepper or herby hummus would also taste great!


Ingredients for hummus dressing.
Here's what you need to make this hummus dressing.

Ingredients

  • Oil-free hummus: You can either make your own, or buy oil-free hummus. Alternatively, you could use any type of hummus you have on hand.
  • red wine vinegar
  • dried oregano: dried basil, marjoram, or Italian herbs would also be nice.
  • salt
  • fresh cracked pepper
  • water: This will help thin out the dressing to reach the right consistency.

Variations

  • Mix things up and try this recipe with a variety of hummus flavors like roasted red pepper or green goddess.

Instructions

  1. Add all of the ingredients except the water and mix together until smooth.
  2. Add water in small increments (about ¼ teaspoon at a time) until you reach your desired consistency.
  3. Taste to adjust seasonings and serve right away, or store for later.

How to serve

Serve this Greek-style hummus dressing with a buddha bowl or salad. It would also taste great drizzled over grilled veggies. Keep it thick for a lovely vegetable dip.

Can I make it ahead?

Sure! It comes together in just a few minutes but there's certainly no disadvantage to making it ahead, especially if you are meal prepping for the week.

How to store

  • Store leftover hummus dressing in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

  • You can substitute regular hummus for oil-free hummus.

      Delicious & simple. This recipe makes a delicious dressing that's a little different. I looked for this recipe to use up my left over Hummus with paprika flavour.

    Love this quick, easy, flavorful dressing! Of course it is delicious on a dinner salad, but it really elevates a simple side salad as well. Thank you for the recipe!

    My family loved this recipe, for either a salad or a Mediterranean chicken wrap. My hummus was not oil free, I used chicken broth instead of water to thin, and added a little agave syrup.
