    Mexican Hummus Salad Recipe - Vegan Family Recipes

    Mexican_Hummus_Salad-3

    Hummus is one thing that I eat consistently. Rarely do I not have a bowl of fresh, homemade hummus in my fridge. Sure, hummus is great as a dip or for wraps but it also works perfectly on salads.

    This Mexican Hummus Salad is not just an awesome, fast lunch but also supplies your body with a great deal of much-needed vegan protein. I actually make a hummus salad several times a week and mainly just because it's really quick to make and I know my boys will love it.

    One of my favorite hummus recipes to use for these salads is my cilantro-lime hummus but you can definitely use others as well. My avocado hummus also works wonders for this :)

    Then load up the salad with as many veggies as you like...or whatever you still have left in your fridge. Don't forget to add a big dollop of hummus in the middle and drizzle with a little bit of lime juice for some extra zest.

    If you want to make an oil-free salad then this is a great way to go! Just simply omit the olive oil in your hummus recipe. Most of the time it won't affect the flavor and can easily be substituted with water. The avocado hummus is actually already oil-free :)

      I think hummus was meant to be a salad dressing stand-in! I love dipping a bunch of veggies in hummus for a snack or meal, but just mixing it all up sounds even easier and plus the flavors all get to mesh and meld, YUM! Oh and that Cilantro Lime Hummus sounds awesome, I always forget limes and use lemons in my hummus but what a great idea!

      I love this! This salad looks so fresh and colourful. I've never thought to add hummus to a salad either, but it seems so obvious now that you've done it!

        Hi Gail, The Cilantro-Lime Hummus has 205 calories in 1/4 cup. You can easily omit the olive oil for a oil-free version and then 1/4 cup will only have 160 calories :)
