Salad with Creamy Coriander & Cumin Hummus Bed
Pairing hummus with veggies? A delicious no-brainer. But pairing it with a salad? Tell me more. This salad starts by smoothing a layer of hummus beneath your bed of greens, giving your meal tons of added texture, nutrients, and flavor. Yum!
Â
But this hummus isn’t your typical recipe. Coriander and cumin combine to add a blend of smooth earthy flavor that helps enhance the taste of your crisp and crunchy veggies. Its velvety smooth texture makes our take on creamy hummus a delicious salad dressing stand-in.
Â
Whether you dip, dress, or eat it by the spoonful, we hope you enjoy!

tasty tip
After you assemble your dish, drizzle with a little extra olive oil and a small squeeze of lemon to get more pops of flavor in every bite. And if you’re a fan of extra creamy hummus, simply add more tahini to get an even smoother texture.
