This Dill Pickle Hummus is a zesty and creamy twist on traditional hummus, combining the tangy crunch of dill pickles with the smooth richness of chickpeas. Perfect as a snack or appetizer, it's quick to make and bursting with bright, fresh flavors.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 (15 oz.) can Chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/3 cup Dill Pickles, chopped
  • 1/4 cup Pickle Juice (from the pickle jar)
  • 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Dill, chopped
  • 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 small Clove Garlic
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 2-3 tbsp Cold Water

Instructions

  1. Blend Base: In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, black pepper, and onion powder. Blend until the mixture is mostly smooth, forming a creamy base.
  2. Add Pickle Juice: Pour in the pickle juice and blend again to integrate the tangy flavor. If the hummus is too thick, add cold water one tablespoon at a time until the desired creamy texture is achieved.
  3. Incorporate Pickles and Dill: Stir in the chopped dill pickles and fresh dill by pulsing the processor a few times. This keeps small chunks of pickles throughout for texture.
  4. Adjust Flavor: Taste and adjust the hummus according to preference—add more pickle juice for tanginess, extra olive oil for creaminess, or a pinch more salt for seasoning.
  5. Serve: Scoop the hummus into a serving bowl. Garnish with extra chopped pickles, fresh dill, and a drizzle of olive oil. Best served with fresh vegetables, pita chips, or as a sandwich spread.

Notes

  • Use cold water gradually to achieve the perfect consistency without thinning the flavor.
  • Fresh dill can be substituted with dried dill if fresh is unavailable, but use less as dried is more concentrated.
  • For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • This hummus makes a great low-fat snack option when served with fresh vegetables.
