Sabra

Welcome to the Sabra Blog, where you can read about all things Mediterranean with a special angle, of course, on my love for Hummus. I will be sharing with you my thoughts, experiences and ideas about Mediterranean cooking, dining, travel and culture. You will also get updates on the latest Sabra news and events.

Last Sunday, Sabra transformed Union Square Park into a Mediterranean village. This marked the end of a national Sabra Mediterranean Village Tour. It was a sunny fun filled day that took everyone back to a coastal town on the Mediterranean Sea. The only thing missing was a swim in the beautiful clear water. Sabra recreated the classic architecture of the ancient Mediterranean by building stonewalls. Vegetables were displayed to evoke the fresh produce markets commonly found in these regions. There were comfortable café tables and chairs set up right in the center of the park, with umbrellas for shade. It made Union Square a relaxing place to enjoy good company and eat delicious Sabra Hummus.

Not only was there great food, but also great entertainment. Some of the fun included live music and belly dancers. I was there showing some of my favorite recipes using Hummus. Some of my featured recipes were Grilled Vegetable Hummus Pizza, using hummus instead of cheese, Chicken Salad, I use Hummus instead of Mayonnaise, and Cucumber Cups, elegant finger foods perfect for entertaining with Hummus. In these recipes you can see how truly versatile hummus can be. Not just as a dip, but as a spread or condiment. It can be used as a main course or elegant appetizer. You can find these recipes and more on the website. If you’re looking for a new recipe, give them a try at home.

Many of you devoted Sabra fans stopped by to enjoy a preview of Sabra’s newest fresh dips. These Fresh dips are yogurt based, so they’re lighter than other sour cream options, with exciting flavors like Tzatziki, Spicy Pepper and Onion. Coming to stores soon. Thanks for joining me and stay tuned for more entries soon.
