If you’re anything like us, the Holidays (no matter which one) are never a simple affair. For us, they always means lots of people and, of course, tons of food.
As much as we try to make everything from scratch most of the time, often things get so hectic and crazy that shortcuts are definitely needed. In those cases, we always try to go for high quality, good tasting products. And Sabra is one of our go to brands.
With a huge selection of salads, dips and hummus, Sabra will make entertaining super easy on any occasion. You can serve them right out of the container, or use them as an ingredient, like we did here!
We put a twist on our traditional Moroccan Carrot Salad by adding Sabra Turkish Salad to the dressing. And the result as just delicious. A little sweet, a little spicy. Packed with flavor and vibrant colors.
