national hummus day

These delicious pinwheels are bursting with bold Mediterranean flavor. Celebrate National Hummus Day in style! Use your favorite flavor of Sabra hummus and customize your fillings however you like.

Roll up fairly tightly from one long end towards the clear end. Brush off excess flour from the pastry as you roll. Place the filled roll on a parchment- or Silpat-lined cookie sheet, cover with plastic wrap and place in the freezer while you repeat the process with the second sheet of puff pastry. Once both sheets are rolled you will still have half the cheese leftover. Hold onto that because you'll be using it in a bit.

These are best served the same day you make them, but you can store leftovers in the fridge and recrisp them in the oven or toaster oven at 350F for a couple of minutes before serving.
