italian vinaigrette salad dressing

There's this salad at Buca Di Beppo and they use a dressing similar to this on their Apple Gorgonzola Salad. It's not right according to my boyfriend who works there, but i love it anyway. It's always better after a few days in the fridge. (ps, this isn't my recipe, i found in on the internet look for meemoskitchen on google)Submitted by: MMPIXIE

Garam masala is an Indian Spice, it means Hot (Garam) Spice (masala). you can make it at home by mixing the hot spices like cloves, bayleaf, chillie, nutmeg, cinnamon, black cardamom, peppercorns etc. - 6/11/08

my new favorite dip! made it with wht beans since chick peas don't like me. was fabulous! no tahini on-hand so I had to soak and grind my own sesame seeds.. MarthaS, move over! - 6/12/08

Delicious - didn't have garam masala in my grocery store, so I added coriander, cumin, chili powder, and a little smoked paprika. I am not a fan of tahini so I only added 1 tbsp. This is delicious - the creaminess of the avocado really adds to it! - 2/21/09

Yum yum yum! Only things I changed were: doubled the indian spice used lime juice instead of lemon and through in a tsp of sesame seed oil since i didn't have any tahini. - 11/13/08

I absolutely LOVE hummus and avacados. I haven't tried this yet but I will definitely be making it soon! I need to open up the culinary minds of this family I have!! - 6/11/08

I already had a new container of Sabra hummus with the roasted garlic, so I just beat in that avocado and tweaked with some more lime/lemon juice and the cumin and I was good to go! Yummy!!

I'm fairly new to hummus and this version was a nice change! The spices are quite unique, but not overpowering. - 7/6/08

This was highly recommended on a 'favorite Spark recipe' thread and I can't wait to try it! I have a very ripe avocado just waiting to be used. Thanks for the suggested alternatives for the Garam Masala, as don't have any on hand, and have never used it. And I always love extra garlic! Thanks! - 6/19/08

Yummy and makes a lot- great for parties! But 277 cal for how much? Is that a cup? A tbsp? Any insight would be a help. Thanks! - 6/14/08

I can't wait to try this. I love hummus and avacados, but, like many said, never thought of putting them together. Bet it's great on a wrap with chicken. Yummmm - 6/11/08

Save on calories and make it tastier by adding more garlic, more cumin, and more tahini, and put only one or two tea spoons of it on your salad. I think most calories here are from the fat in the tahini and avocado, but it is healthy fat, so go ahead and enjoy. Never tried it with yoghurt. - 2/13/08

I'm not crazy about hummus but this was tastier than most. - 2/13/08
