Foodbuzz and Sabra offered me a coupon to try a free sample of one of their dips. The reality is, I didn’t really need the coupon to be convinced…we’re already loyal fans of Sabra’s hummus. We always, always have a tub of the Supremely Spicy variety in our fridge for lunches and snacks. JiT often forgets to eat at work so he usually comes home ravenous and almost always goes straight for the Sabra.
Beyond snacks and lunches, I’m always finding other ways to incorporate hummus into meals. One of our most recent discoveries is how good this stuff is on a burger. We’ve been eating a lot of burgers around here lately (they’re easy and good and JiT can grill them up while I’m feeding the baby) but I get tired of the typical condiments. So to change things up, we’ve been spreading on a layer of Sabra Supremely Spicy Hummus along with thin slices of cucumber, sweet onion and avocado. The result is a crunchy, creamy, refreshing and spicy burger. Satisfyingly different. Although this is fairly easy to reproduce, I’ve included a recipe below. Feel free to swap the Supremely Spicy hummus for whatever flavor you prefer.
