"A TikToker took things even further by coming up with the ultimate creamy dressing hack that requires just two household staples: Hummus and pickle juice. Start with around a third to half a cup of hummus spooned into a bowl, then add about two spoonfuls of pickle juice directly from the pickle jar in, stirring to combine. The mixture should be deliciously creamy yet still fluid enough to drizzle and coat delicate salad ingredients like lettuce."
"Both hummus and pickle juice are complex, multi-ingredient condiments that supply a wealth of flavor to salad dressing. The vinegar, aromatics, and herbs that comprise the pickle brine are the tangy and spicy complement to cut through the richness of the earthy, nutty hummus. This ridiculously easy 2-ingredient hack is essentially a vinaigrette since the pickle juice supplies the acid and the hummus brings the fat with olive oil and tahini."
Combine hummus and pickle juice to create a two-ingredient creamy salad dressing. Use about one-third to a half cup of hummus and roughly two spoonfuls of pickle juice, stirring until the mixture is pourable. The pickle brine provides vinegar, aromatics, and herbs that cut through the earthy, nutty richness of hummus. The acid from the pickle juice and the fat in hummus (olive oil and tahini) function like a vinaigrette. Different hummus varieties and pickle types will produce a wide range of flavor variations suitable for many salads and vegetable dips.
