Huhhh…. hummm…. hummus. HUH?

I just heard through the grapevine that there are people who do not know what hummus is. Whaaaat?

Well, I’m here to help. I’ve teamed up with Sabra to celebrate National Hummus Day. It’s today – May 21st! If you’re reading this on May 22nd, no worries! Make sure to mark your calendar for May 21st, 2016.

If you don’t know what hummus is, you’re probably new around here because I have quite a few hummus recipes on this little piece of internet-land. (PS: Meet Hummus, wiki-style. Educate yourself and then feed yourself.)

I’m adding to that list with another one of my obsessions – zucchini noodles, aka zoodles. Sick of ’em yet? Good, me neither. (PS: I use this Spiralizer.)

This salad is super easy to make and unbelievably flavorful thanks to Sabra Roasted Red Pepper Hummus (my fave flavor!). To make the dressing, simply mix the hummus with red wine vinegar. So so easy!

Make this zucchini noodle salad your own:

You can really add any vegetables to this zucchini noodle salad that you like. I like to enhance the roasted red pepper flavor with some fresh red bell peppers. I also add radishes for crunch and tomatoes for juicy bites of freshness. 

Try adding finely chopped broccoli or cauliflower. Chopped green peppers, sliced red onion, or shredded carrots would be delicious. 

Add cheese. Fresh mozzarella would be great, or a sprinkle of feta. Or add canned beans such as cannellini or garbanzo to up the protein. Chopped pepperoni would be tasty, too.

Try experimenting with different flavors of hummus to make this a completely new creation. I’m thinking basil pesto hummus with some fresh basil, mozzarella, and tomatoes! How tasty would that be?

    I love Zoodles almost as much as I love Sabra Hummus! I’ll have to try the roasted red pepper flavor next time.

    This looks like the perfect weekday lunch for me! I often have zoodles, but heating up the sauce is kind of a pain (and more dishes). A no-cook zoodle dish, with hummus (which I ALWAYS have on hand)? Yes yes and yes!

    People who don’t know what hummus is??? For shame! I’ve never thought to incorporate it into a “pasta”-type dish, but this looks awesome!
