Buffalo Hummus (No Chicken Included!)

Hey guys, Happy Friday! I hope that the week went well and you’re looking forward to the weekend. I know I am! With the weekend in mind, especially during football season, I thought it a good time to talk about a new grocery store find. You see, a couple of weeks ago I received some coupons from the wonderful people at Sabra (hands down my favorite store-bought hummus) and you can imagine my delight when, generous coupon in hand, I noticed a new variety. Buffalo Style Hummus.  

Upon resting my eyes upon this beauty, I didn’t even contemplate the roasted red pepper or pine nut varieties – my decision was made. You see, in the not-so-distant (but getting distant-er) past, I LOVED chicken wings. Or perhaps more accurately, I loved the combination of chicken wing sauce, blue cheese and carrot sticks. I remember emphatically that mix of tang from the blue cheese, heat from the wing sauce and cool, sweet crunchiness of the carrot. 

And, praise the hummus gods, when I dipped my humble carrot stick into this new, creamy spread, all I could think of was those glorious nights of old. I even, in a moment of disbelief, went to check the package to make sure (prepare to be grossed out) that there wasn’t 1) chicken in the hummus 2) blue cheese in the hummus.  (Thankfully, there was neither.)

I’m not sure how Sabra did it, but this hummus is most definitely my new favorite. It’s absolutely delicious – the tang of the tahini mixed with the spiciness of the buffalo sauce. Oh. Yum. This would be the PERFECT dip for a party – or to consume in your pjs on a Sunday afternoon while yelling at your Bad News Bears football team (or do most people choose to root for winning teams?). 

Thanks for the coupon, Sabra, and for the new treat!
