Confession: After I took this picture, I poured lots more dressing over this nummy salad! |
This
dressing is based on Dreena Burton’s recipe….I omitted the herbs she suggested
and instead of plain old olive oil, I used the oil from some oil-packed sun
dried tomatoes to create the most luscious dressing on earth.
Here’s what
you need:
¼ C chick
peas
¼ water
2 ½ T tahini
1 T lemon
juice
1 T red wine
vinegar
1 t soy sauce
½ t Dijon
1 small
clove garlic
1 t maple
syrup
Salt
Pepper
1 T olive oil
from oil packed sundried tomatoes
Here’s what
you do:
Put it all
in a high speed blender and whirl until totally smooth.
This is what
I used to call “homemade”…. You, too? Won’t you graduate to a real homemade dressing?
Other news: I have seen some great birds at my house lately: these are the first Sandhill Cranes I have ever seen. Huge birds!
I saw the cutest dioramas recently at Valparaiso University! They were all made from Peeps and they depicted various scenes from the Bible..... I couldn't stop looking at them! Here we see Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit came down as flames of fire. Below you see the parting of the Red Sea! LOVE these!!
Other news: I leave for a week-long field trip with my students in a few days.... we travel to Williamsburg, Jamestown, Yorktown, Washington DC and Gettysburg. Highlight for me? Monticello-the home of my favorite President, Thomas Jefferson.

Thomas and Tracy and that pesky Alexander Hamilton.
Hi Tracy!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE hummus as a dressing!!! The addition of red wine vinegar makes this recipe quite intriguing. Thank you so much for sharing...
Jefferson is one of my favorite president's also. You are going to LOVE Monticello! Gettysburg is not that far away from me. Have a wonderful time!!!
