Ingredients
- 1/4 cup plain hummus
- 3/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons capers, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon caper brine
- Water as needed for thinning
- Maple syrup to taste, optional
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 teaspoons olive oil optional
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the hummus, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped capers, and caper brine. Whisk these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth.
- If the dressing is too thick, gradually add water until you reach your desired consistency. If needed, add some maple syrup to help balance the flavor. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
- For extra creaminess, stir in olive oil if desired. Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
