Prepping for watch parties and tailgating in advance means you
don't have to worry about last-minute details. And while standard
watch party fare may be enticing, game day snacking guilt can set
in once the day is over. Avoid snacking guilt by serving up
flavorful, better-for-you dishes that will still please the party
palates of your fellow fans
For example - instead of nachos topped with cheese, sour cream and
more cheese, opt for a flavorful spin on nachos-as-usual. This
recipe for Mediterranean Nachos incorporates the savory and fresh
flavors of Sabra Roasted Garlic Hummus and Roasted Red Pepper
Hummus, as well as tomatoes, Greek olives, fresh mozzarella,
zucchini and pepperoncini. Likewise, the Hummus Deviled Eggs are
sure to score big points with your watch party crowd, and can be
made in advance, or while your nachos are in the oven.
Try these flavorful, better-for-you dishes at your game day watch
party; whether your team wins or loses, you're sure to get an
M.V.P. mention. For more game day recipes, visit www.Facebook.com/Sabra.

Hummus Deviled Eggs
Makes: 12 servings
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Assembly: 15 minutes
6 eggs
1/3 cup, plus 1 tablespoon Sabra hummus
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons relish
Paprika for garnish
Place eggs in pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over
high heat. Turn off the heat and let sit for 14 minutes. Remove
with a slotted spoon and run cold water over the eggs. Cool eggs 10
minutes.
Remove shells when cool. Cut in half and scoop out the yolk and
reserve in bowl of a food processor. Repeat with the remaining 5
eggs.
Add hummus, olive oil, pepper, and salt to the yolks; puree in the
food processor. Add the relish and pulse 3 to 5 times to
incorporate.
Put the yolk mixture in a piping bag. (Use a tall glass and fold
the edges of the piping bag over the glass to make it easier to
transfer the mixture.) Pipe about a teaspoon of the mixture into
each of the egg white halves and sprinkle with paprika.
