The jalapeno lime hummus dressing made from Sabra Jalapeno Hummus has got everything going on! It’s a little spicy, a little tangy, and a little creamy.
The Sabra Jalapeno Hummus is only one of 12 flavors to chose from to make awesome dressings like this one! Don’t want spicy jalapeno? Choose another delicious flavor of sabra hummus, like roasted red pepper, or caramelized onion!
Black beans and sabra hummus add filling, plant-based protein to the salad. Sweet corn and cherry tomatoes add a little sweetness to the salad to balance the dressing.
