Here at Fork and Beans, we are standing behind our friends at Sabra to celebrate #nationalhummusday on May 13th, and what better way to thank this snacking staple than with your very own Cactus Hummus Dip?! You are going to LOVE the idea of eating edible cacti, so much so that this appetizer will actually count as an unofficial meal.
What exactly is an Unofficial Meal?
It’s an everyday snack (typically between lunch and dinner) that is so satisfying, it feels like a meal. What makes it so great? Fresh, clean ingredients, especially a good helping of Sabra Hummus. And spinach tortilla cactus chips, of course. This household runs off of unofficial meals. I seriously think we could snack our way through most of our days. My favorite meals include a big platter of fresh veggies and anything you can dip it into.
There are a variety of ways to serve this Cactus Hummus Dip. What is non-negotiable are the spinach tortilla cactus chips and hummus. Everything else can be substituted or added onto according to taste preference. This mexican-inspired dip is layered with Sabra roasted red pepper hummus, plain greek yogurt (use dairy free if you are allergic), black beans and pico de gallo, but you are free to use whatever favorite toppings you prefer. Just make sure they are fresh and filling.
