Fresh, Flavorful, and Full of Options: Hummus Republic Wows with Shrimp Greek Salad Special
By Ray Lane, Loganville Pulse Staff Writer

If you're looking for a fast, fresh, and healthy meal right here in Loganville, Hummus Republic is a standout choice—and their Mother’s Day shrimp Greek salad special is proof that healthy eating doesn’t mean sacrificing flavor.

I stopped by recently to try this limited-time dish, and it was nothing short of excellent. Built on a base of crisp romaine, the Greek salad was packed with flavor from feta cheese, kalamata olives, fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions, all tossed in a perfectly balanced Greek vinaigrette that brought everything together without overpowering it. But the real star? The shrimp—well-seasoned, tender, and cooked just right. It added a hearty, satisfying twist to the classic Greek combo.

What sets Hummus Republic apart is not just the quality of their ingredients, but their customizable, health-conscious menu. Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, or just trying to eat cleaner, they’ve got something for you. You can build your own bowl, wrap, or pita with a variety of bases, proteins, toppings, and sauces—everything from roasted cauliflower and falafel to harissa hummus and garlic spread.

Beyond the food, the vibe inside is bright, clean, and inviting, with fast and friendly service that makes you feel welcome whether you're dining in or grabbing something on the go.

If you’re looking for a fresh new lunch spot or a healthy dinner option that doesn’t skimp on taste, Hummus Republic is absolutely worth a visit. And if the shrimp Greek salad is still available—don’t miss it.
