#Trendy Subway Tests Hummus as Sandwich Topping

In case Subway’s creamy sriracha sauce no longer gets your sandwich-loving panties in a bunch, the chain wants you to know you still have options. Namely, that old health nut standby, hummus.

Since early April, Subway has been testing hummus as a sandwich topping in certain markets in an effort to “keep pace with changing eating trends,” says the Associated Press. In an interview Tuesday, Subway’s chief marketing officer Tony Pace stated that individual franchises may have offered hummus in the past, but this would be the first time the spread receives a national release, should the test prove successful.

Considering a large portion of Subway’s customer base already visits the store seeking vegetarian options, the potential demand for hummus doesn’t seem too far fetched, although we would feel much more enthused if 1) it also meant a national roll-out of falafel or gyro meat 2) we could get Sabra + pretzel packs as a side instead of chips. Just. Saying.
