“I made this recipe the other day when I was hungry for hummus but didn't have all the ingredients. Italian-style salad dressing adds a nice zest to an otherwise traditional favorite. Garnish with the unused half of the red pepper or spinach. Serve with bagels or pita bread.” - by MOONFLOWER

1/4 cup Italian-style salad dressing
1/2 cup creamy salad dressing, e.g. Miracle Whip ™
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds

"This is great stuff! Very much like traditional hummus, but a little thinner. The Italian dressing adds a nice zest. A good change from the usual hummus...." See more"
