This salad truly lives up to its name—it’s delicious! If you enjoy a crisp texture combined with diverse flavors and a creamy dressing, you’ll fall in love with this salad. It might even become your favorite summer dish!
I’ve included radicchio not only because of its vibrant color but also due to its health benefits and popularity in Italian cuisine—I like to think I was Italian in a past life. Radicchio is one of my favorite salad additions because its bitterness aids detoxification and promotes gut health. But don’t worry, the dressing and other ingredients balance the flavors perfectly, ensuring the salad isn’t overly bitter.
Let’s talk about the dressing! It’s creamy and satisfying, made with hummus, which elevates the salad’s deliciousness to a new level. If you’ve never used hummus in a salad dressing before, you’re in for a delightful surprise.
I’ve recently shared three new hummus salad dressing recipes for you to try. While I often make the “simple hummus dressing,” rest assured any choice will be a hit.
This salad features straightforward yet high-quality ingredients, allowing you to add cucumbers, celery, or beets if you like. If you’re preparing it for a larger group, simply multiply the ingredients by three.

Enjoy!
