I'm in Love with a Hummus

I've been eating hummus for a long, long time - unremarkably, I might add.

My only memorable hummus moment occurred about ten or so years ago when I whipped up my own blend and used far too much fresh garlic. If you've ever consumed fresh garlic in any quantity (e.g., more than three raw cloves in one sitting), you might have some idea about the consequences of such actions. Needless to say, I over-consumed my garlicky blend and then boarded an overnight flight from the West coast.

Never do this.

Fresh, raw garlic should probably be researched as an alternative fuel source, because that dark night on the plane, I know I could have easily propelled a 747 to Europe on my fumes alone.

But I digress.

I took a break from hummus after that, uh, turbulent flight, but I couldn't stay away for long. There's something so indescribably satisfying about a blend of garbanzo beans, tahini (sesame paste), lemon juice, soy sauce, cumin, and garlic (in moderation). Despite creating some real hummus bombs in the past, in a manner of speaking, I still preferred my own blends over store-bought varieties.

Until now.

I recently discovered a line of Hummus products that are so incredibly scrumptious that I may never make my own hummus again. Seriously, people, I can't stop eating this hummus. It's creamy and flavorful, with a masterful balance of palate-pleasing tastes. As far as I'm concerned, it's the perfect food.

Take note, friends and fellow hummus lovers: Sabra Hummus.

I highly recommend their "Chunky Hummus," and will be trying out their other varieties (Luscious Lemon Hummus, Fresh Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, etc.) which I suspect are just as good.

Eat it up with my blessings.
