Michelle’s Zesty Hummus-like Spread

I made this recipe the other day when I was hungry for hummus but didn’t have all the ingredients. Italian-style salad dressing adds a nice zest to an otherwise traditional favorite. Garnish with the unused half of the red pepper or spinach. Serve with bagels or pita bread.
