Chicken & Hummus Salad

Daddy needed a little bit of a detox after last nights shenanigans at the Urban Pedal Tour.  Ps:  I am referring to myself as daddy from now on.  I already did in real life but it’s about time you guys call me by preferred name.  Daddy has had a long week and wanted to make the perfect hummus flavoured dressing for a nice light salad – and he did it!

A friend of mine made some tiger nut flour for me so you may have a hard time finding it depending on where you live.  I know for sure it’s a rarity in Edmonton.  Try with almond or coconut flour instead. This is also topped with black Hawaiian sea salt, which was a birthday gift from my righthand man.
