Caesar dressing is usually one of the richest and fattiest dressings on the planet—but not this one. This easy, five-minute recipe is packed with umami flavor thanks to capers. Swapping out mayonnaise for hummus reduces fat and calories, and makes this dressing vegan-friendly.
Ingredients
1 Tbsp. capers, drained
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
2 Tbsp. dijon mustard
¾ cup hummus
1 Tbsp. olive oil
splash of soy sauce
pinch of cayenne pepper (or more if you like spicy)
pinch of cloves
3 Tbsp. lemon juice
pinch of fresh black pepper
12 Tbsp of water (depending on desired consistency)
Directions
On a small cutting board, combine capers, garlic, and salt. Use the back of a spoon or the flat side of a knife to form a paste.
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except water. Whisk until combined. The dressing will be thick. Add water until the desired consistency is achieved. Don't use more than 2 Tbsp. If the dressing is still too thick, add a bit of olive oil instead.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
