Sabra Hummus is truly one of my all-time favorite food brands ever. I LOVE their hummus. If I really got down to counting the tubs of hummus I’ve consumed, it would be probably sum up to a rather ridiculous  and incredulous number. Yes, its a fact. Zoe and I are totally obsessed with their hummus.

Credits to Sabra Hummus, they just came out with their newest, most genius product – 3 incredible sandwich spreads: Honey mustard, sea salt and black pepper; garlic & herb. This means that you can now conveniently squirt a little hummus on your favorite bread and make it into any kind of sandwich! No more mayonnaise, all you need is this hummus spread.

To demonstrate my pure infatuation with hummus, let me share an example. Over the weekend, my dad came to visit! He had been travelling for business and was able to stop over Utah for the weekend. I had been so excited about his visit for weeks! Being away from home, I really miss spending time with my parents.

My dad truly is one-of-a-kind. I respect him a lot, not only because of his love for hard work and his job, but most importantly his success at being one excellent father. To me, he exemplifies everything I want to become. I remember feeling a sense of awe as I reflected on the wise advice he had given Zoe and I regarding our future careers, college, marriage, job hunting. Over dinner, he even went a detailed explanation of an entire interview, recruiting process and gave many incredible examples of his own experiences in the business field. As I studied my dad’s face, I had noticed that he did seem a little concerned. His furrowed eyebrows and his intent gaze were a little disconcerting. It was the kind of expression that only could describe what a parent could feel for their child – “parental love”.
Knowing that Zoe and I wanted to have a good meal, he insisted we picked something WE wanted to eat. Zoe and I decided to introduce him to one of our favorite restaurants in provo – Aubergine. I love my dad because he has such an adventurous taste buds and such great instincts for good food. My genetics and love for cooking came through his side of the family and I will forever be grateful for that. I helped him order a delicious hummus, eggplant caponata, chicken, tomato-cucumber, carrot salad stuffed pita sandwich, paired with a vegan cashew cream, cauliflower-broccoli soup. His slight smile and slow nod indicated his approval for my choice. He loved it! To be really honest, it was the hummus. Anything with hummus just tastes INCREDIBLE.

Even after 18 years of living at home, even after many vacations, even after countless family meals – there just never seemed to be enough time to spend together. The last few precious moments of our 2-day daddy and daughters date was spent over a meal of packed filled with hummus.  And it was well worth it.

Its now only been a couple hours since he’s been gone, but Zoe and I miss him. We created this sandwich filled with everything my dad adores – avocado, hummus and tomato-basil salad (you can honestly put anything you want!) Years ago, in high school, Zoe and I experimented with a tomato bruschetta recipe and I still remember the exact same smile and silent nod when he first tasted it. He loved it – just as much as he had loved the hummus. I couldn’t help but feel compelled to recreate this delicious bruschetta topping to pair with this amazing flatbread today. I create recipes based on memories, based on emotions, tailoring them to people. This is simply a few elements of our scarce memories together. This is what I call a sandwich layered with love.

DELICIOUS Broccoli flatbread, layered with Sabra’s Delicious garlic & herb spread (honestly any of the 3 hummus spreads would work great with this recipe) and your favorite toppings – a sandwich of memories and of the countless meals we had shared together.

Love you daddy. Can’t wait for you to try this!

Notes

Nut-Free Substitutions: Use more chickpea, oat or rice flour in place of almond flour for the bread.

Vegan: I haven't tried using flax eggs in place of eggs for the bread. I have read comments on some attempts but I didn't think they were successful. You may use your own vegan bread recipe!
