Tips for Success:
- Flavor Profile: The flavor profile of this dressing is a sweet and tangy, and full of Southwestern flair.
- Apple Cider Vinegar: Start on the low side and add more as you build the flavors.
- Maple Syrup Sweetness: The level of sweetness is easily customizable. Start on the low end and build from there.
- Chili Powder and Smoked Paprika: Our family was all over the board on spice preferences (amounts). This dressing is easily customizable.
- Taste Testing Salad Dressings: There is an art to arriving at the salad dressing that perfectly suits your tastes. The best way to test salad dressings is to place a few leaves of lettuce (or other greens) in a tiny bowl, put a tiny bit of the salad dressing over top and mix really well, then taste test. Some salad dressings taste amazing before you dress the salad, then once dressing the salad, they fall flat. That is because the salad dressing has to cover all the salad ingredients and it flattens the flavor. Additionally, some salad dressings taste really tangy or overly strong before dressing the salad, but once you dress the salad, it coats all the ingredients and tastes amazing.
- Hummus: We used our The Best Hummus because it is super creamy and smooth, making it perfect for a dressing base. Feel free to use your favorite hummus.
