Hummus (In Hebrew: חוּמוּס) made from garbanzo beans, is served as an appetizer, side dish or main course in Israel. Hummus is one of the most popular salads in Israel, especially during Jewish Holidays and celebrations such as Yom Ha’atzmaut (Israel’s Independence Day).
On Israel’s Independence Day, Israelis pack their picnic baskets. The traditional food on Yom Ha’atzmaut is Israeli food, such as pitta, falafel, lots of meat and Hummus. Bon appétit!
