How To Make My Crunchy Kale Chopped Salad with 3-Ingredient Hummus Dressing

Step 2. In a small bowl, combine the dressing ingredients and whisk or blend until very smooth.
Step 3. Pour dressing over the salad and mix well.
Step 4. Enjoy!
What Else Can I Use?
- Sometimes I have a craving for homemade hummus, but for the sake of time and effort, I highly recommend the Boar’s Head Hummus for a high-quality, readily available option
- I love Tuscan Kale, also known as Lucinato or Dinosaur Kale for this salad and most raw preparations. It’s softer than curly kale, though you could certainly use that if that’s what you can find.
- Use diced onion or shallot instead of the green onions.
