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.
Variations to the Southwest Kale Salad with Jalapeno Lime Hummus Dressing recipe:
- Kale is a toothsome green. The best way to enjoy it without too much chew is to massage it with a little olive oil first. This helps to break down some of the cells in the leaves leaving it a bit more tender!
- Try another flavor of sabra hummus to make your salad dressing! They have 12 delicious flavors to choose from, so you can individualize the salad based on your taste preferences!
- Use whatever type of cheese you have on hand! Try cheddar, Mexican blend, or even crumbled queso fresco!
- 4 cups torn curly kale
- ¼ tsp olive oil
- ½ cup each: cooked black beans, corn, and cherry tomatoes
- ¼ cup each: shredded cheese and sliced red onion
- 2 TBS Sabra Jalapeno Hummus
- 1½ tsp each: lime juice and olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Salt, to taste
- In a large salad bowl, message kale with ¼ tsp olive oil by gently kneading the leaves.
- Top kale with black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, shredded cheese, and sliced red onion.
- To make the dressing, combine Sabra Hummus with lime juice, olive oil, garlic, and salt to taste. Whisk until smooth.
- Poor the dressing over the salad, toss and enjoy!
